Pseudoreinforcement effect of multiwalled carbon nanotubes in epoxy matrix composites

The carbon nanotube possesses outstanding physical properties. Theoretically, adding carbon nanotubes into a polymer matrix can remarkably improve the mechanical properties of the polymer matrix. In the present work, a series of composites was prepared by incorporating multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) into an epoxy resin. The influences of MWNT content and curing temperature on the flexural properties of the epoxy resin were investigated....
