Abstract
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) may improve or degrade the fracture toughness of epoxy polymers. The improvement strongly depends on the density of isolated CNTs dispersed in the nanocomposites. On the other hand, the degradation is mainly related to the density of CNTs agglomeration. Hence, the main objective of this paper is to investigate the effect of CNTs agglomeration on the fracture toughness of CNTs/epoxy nanocomposites. First, a theoretical...
