Preparation and Damping Properties of Cups-Stacked Carbon Nanotubes(CSCNTs)/Prime 20

Abstract:

CSCNT is a new type carbon nanotube, which has better physical and mechanical properties than the traditional materials. In this study, the effect of the dispersion and concentration of cup-stacked carbon nanotubes on mechanical properties of the CSCNTs/epoxy nanocomposites were investigated. The epoxy resin system used in this study was a two component (resin and harder) Prime 20. The CSCNTs were dispersed into the Prime 20 by ultrasonic agitation and mechanical mixing together. And the morphologies of the fracture surface of CSCNTs/Prime 20 nanocomposites were observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM); damping behaviors of the nanocomposites were studied by DMA at frequency domain.
