Investigation of Mechanical Properties of MWCNTs Doped Epoxy Nanocomposites in Tensile, Fracture and Impact Tests

Abstract:

The current paper was aimed to investigate the effect of addition of MWCNTs on mechanical properties of epoxy. Tensile, fracture and impact tests were carried out for mechanical characterization while the weight concentration of the MWCNTs was 0.5 wt.%. Results showed that addition of MWCNTs resulted in decreasing tensile strength of the nanocomposites, whereas an improvement appeared for fracture and impact tests. In fact, fracture toughness and impact strength of the MWCNTs/epoxy increased by 65 and 117 percentage, respectively, compared with the pristine epoxy.
