Thermal and Mechanical Behavior of Functionalized MWCNT Reinforced Epoxy Carbon Fabric Composites

This work focuses on the thermal properties, mechanical behavior and fracture analysis of carboxylic acid (-COOH) modified multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) reinforced epoxy – CF composites. MWCNT – epoxy nanocomposites were prepared by ultrasonic probe method. The CF composites with Epoxy – MWCNT nanocomposites were prepared by conventional hand lay-up method followed by compression molding. The addition of 1.5 % MWCNT to the epoxy resin...
