Carbon nanotubes and polyaniline filled hybrid epoxy composites: Assessing the viscoelastic behavior and mechanical properties

In the current work, polyaniline (PANI) and epoxy (EP) composites were prepared and the effect of carbon nanotubes (CNT) addition to EP/PANI (5%) composite on mechanical and viscoelastic properties was studied. PANI was synthesized using p ‐toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA) as dopant and characterized through UV–vis and FTIR spectroscopy. Viscosity of uncured EP and composites was studied as a function of shear rate and found to increase with fillers...
