Abstract:

In this study, the production of weight ratios of 1, 3 and 5 % multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) reinforced / unreinforced Nylon 6,6 (N-6,6) nanofiber mats was carried out by electro spun method. Tensile strength (sT), modulus of elasticity (E), toughness and elongation amounts were investigated by tensile tests under static loading with / without reinforced nanofiber mats. % 3 MWCNT reinforced N-6,6 nanofiber mats, tensile strength, E and toughness increased by 84.4, 235 and 112 %, respectively, when compared with N-6,6 nanofiber mats. In addition, scanning electron microscope (SEM) images were also investigated to determine the physical properties at the specification of reinforced /unreinforced N-6,6 nanofiber mats.
