Effect of 1D carbon nano- tube and fiber reinforcement on the long-term creep performance of glass fiber/epoxy composite using the time-temperature superposition principle

In this article, one-dimensional (1D) carbon nanotube (CNT) and carbon nanofiber (CNF) is added to glass fiber/epoxy (GE) composite in an attempt to improve its life-long creep resistance. Accelerated deformation of GE and both nanofiller reinforced GE (CNT-GE and CNF-GE) composite were done in 30–120 °C temperature span, and the long-term creep behavior was evaluated by implementing time–temperature superposition principle at 30 °C and 90 °C...
