Improvement in electrical, thermal and mechanical properties of epoxy by filling carbon nanotube

Abstract: In this study, electrical, thermal and mechanical properties of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) reinforced Epon 862 epoxy have been evaluated. Firstly, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4 wt% CNT were infused into epoxy through a high intensity ultrasonic liquid processor and then mixed with EpiCure curing agent W using a high speed mechanical agitator. Electric conductivity, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), three point bending tests and fracture tests were then performed on unfilled, CNT-filled epoxy to identify th… Show more

“…This results in a decrease in the thermal stability of polymers as a side effect of nanotube addition. Similar results were reported in [5,6,12,13]. The nanotubes' length and modification with 13 amino groups have no significant influence on the decomposition temperature.…”

“…CNT-and CNF-reinforced epoxy nanocomposites have shown improved mechanical, electrical and thermal properties [2][3][4][5]. However, the high cost of CNTs and CNFs and the poor dispersion in the epoxy limits their range of practical applicability.…”

“…In particular, it has been demonstrated that the storage modulus of epoxy resin rises substantially with the addition of CNTs [3], thermal conductivity of such nanocomposites grows with the CNT concentration [4] and electrical resistivity of epoxy decreases from 10 14 Ω·m (neat epoxy) to 10 Ω·m after doping with 0.4 % of CNTs [5]. Another important class of materials is PE-DOT-polymers with the addition of SWCNTs or MWCNTs as a nanofiller.…”
