Mechanical Properties Improvements of Resin-Based Nanocomposites Reinforced by Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Abstract:

The experimental results of epoxy resin modified by multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as two-phase nanocomposite are presented in the current paper. Effects of improved dispersion on reinforcement of the epoxy resins were investigated through three different prevalent conventional tests. Three various types of test specimens in four values of Mwcnt weight ratios, 0, 0.5, 1 and 2% to the GY6010 resin were fabricated according to corresponding ASTM standards by a novel technique. The static strength and stiffness tests led to the conclusion that the appropriate dispersion of Mwcnts into epoxy improves mechanical properties of two-phase nanocoposites.
