Damping Properties of Cups-Stacked Carbon Nanotubes (CSCNTs)/RTM6 Composites

Abstract:

Carbon nanotubes have better physical and mechanical behaviors than the traditional materials, in this study cups-stacked carbon nanotubes (CSCNTs) were filled into epoxy nancomposites to fabricate CSCNTs/epoxy nanocomposites. RTM6 was used by epoxy resin system. The cups-stacked carbon nanotubes (CSCNTs) were dispersed into the RTM6 matrix. In this study, damping properties of the CSCNTs/RTM6 were measured; effect of different weight percentages of the CSCNTs was investigated. And the morphologies of fracture surface of CSCNTs/epoxy nanocomposites were observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM); damping behaviors of the nanocomposites were studied by DMA tester at frequency domain.
