We report high mechanical, dielectric, and thermal performance of carbon nanotubes (CNT) reinforced ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) composites, fabricated using conventional melt extrusion processing. CNT have extremely high stiffness, electrical conductivity, and surface area, ensuring strong interactions with the polymer and effective reinforcement. The addition of CNT to EVA leads to an extremely high yield strength and Young’s modulus of the composites. The EVA composite produced, containing 5 wt% CNT, exhibited an almost 3-fold increase in Young’s modulus and a 2.2-fold improvement of yield strength compared to neat EVA. However, the composite maintained high deformation properties—a ductility of 1300%. Scanning electron microscopy analysis evidences the agglomeration of the CNT in the EVA/CNT composites. The EVA/CNT composites gained excellent electrostatic discharge properties—a surface resistivity in the range of 108 Ω/square. The observed thermal conductivity of the composites was increased by about 30% without losing the electrically insulating performance.

“…The obtained positive results were explained by the homogeneous morphologies of the EP//UP blend and the chemical reactions between the reactive groups of EP and nanoparticles. However, Le and Huang [ 192 ] compared the effects of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) on the mechanical properties of an epoxy/unsaturated polyester mixture at different ratios. As in previous investigations, it was confirmed that a small amount of added MWCNTs (1 wt%) or GNPs (0.2 wt%) resulted in a significant increase of about 85% in the tensile strength of the epoxy/polyester blend.…”

This article presents a review on the recent advances in the field of ternary diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A epoxy nanocomposites containing nanoparticles and other modifiers. Particular attention is paid to their mechanical and thermal properties. The properties of epoxy resins were improved by incorporating various single toughening agents, in solid or liquid states. This latter process often resulted in the improvement in some properties at the expense of others. The use of two appropriate modifiers for the preparation of hybrid composites, possibly will show a synergistic effect on the performance properties of the composites. Due to the huge amount of modifiers that were used, the present paper will focus mainly on largely employed nanoclays with modifiers in a liquid and solid state. The former modifier contributes to an increase in the flexibility of the matrix, while the latter modifier is intended to improve other properties of the polymer depending on its structure. Various studies which were carried out on hybrid epoxy nanocomposites confirmed the occurrence of a synergistic effect within the tested performance properties of the epoxy matrix. Nevertheless, there are still ongoing research works using other nanoparticles and other modifiers aiming at enhancing the mechanical and thermal properties of epoxy resins. Despite numerous studies carried out so far to assess the fracture toughness of epoxy hybrid nanocomposites, some problems still remain unresolved. Many research groups are dealing with many aspects of the subject, namely the choice of modifiers and preparation methods, while taking into account the protection of the environment and the use of components from natural resources.

“…Wang et al [10] produced nanocomposite by using graphene nanoplatelets and epoxy resin. To obtain the hybrid polymer nanocomposites Le and Huang [11] stirred graphene nanoplatelets and multi-walled carbon nanotubes with epoxy/polyester solutions. According to this literature survey, few studies deal with the effects of graphene nanoplatelets reinforcement on the mechanical properties of continuous fiber-reinforced laminated composites.…”

In this study, the effect of graphene nanoplatelets reinforcement on the flexural strength of Eglass/epoxy laminated composite material was investigated experimentally. [0⁰/90⁰] 3S oriented composite materials with and without graphene nanoplatelets reinforcement were manufactured by using hand lay-up and vacuum bagging method. Graphene nanoplatelets at three different ratios (0.25, 0.5 and 1 wt.%) were added to the epoxy. The produced plates were cut with a water jet cutting machine to obtain three-point bending specimens. Then, three-point bending tests were performed according to the ASTM D790 standard. The span between the centers of support cylinders/composite specimen thickness ratio (s/t) was selected as 16 in all the tests. Results indicate that the addition of graphene nanoplatelets to the epoxy matrix increased the flexural strength of the laminated composite material. When the graphene nanoplatelets at ratios of 0.25, 0.5 and 1 wt.% were added to the epoxy matrix, the flexural strengths increased by 4.32%, 12.88% and 7.03% respectively.
