Fabrication and mechanical properties of well-dispersed multiwalled carbon nanotubes/epoxy composites

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/epoxy nanocomposites were fabricated by using ultrasonication and the cast molding method. In this process, MWCNTs modified by mixed acids were well dispersed and highly loaded in an epoxy matrix. The effects of MWCNTs addition and surface modification on the mechanical performances and fracture morphologies of composites were investigated. It was found that the tensile strength improved with the increase of MWCNTs addition, and when the content of MWCNTs loading reached 8 wt.%, the tensile strength reached the highest value of 69.7 MPa. In addition, the fracture strain also enhanced distinctly, implying that MWCNTs loading not only elevated the tensile strength of the epoxy matrix, but also increased the fracture toughness. Nevertheless, the elastic modulus reduced with the increase of MWCNTs loading. The reasons for the mechanical property changes are discussed.

Basalt fiber–epoxy laminates with functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes

Cross-ply laminates reinforced with basalt fibers and functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were fabricated from unidirectional epoxy prepregs. MWCNTs with varied surface conditions were prepared by oxidization or esterification, and then dispersed into a DGEBA epoxy system. The dispersion of the MWCNTs in the epoxy was improved by surface modification, resulting in improved composite mechanical properties as well. Significant increases in elastic modulus and strength were observed for epoxies with functionalized MWCNTs, especially for esterified species. When MWCNT – filled epoxies were used as matrices for basalt fiber/epoxy laminates, however, the reinforcement effects of MWCNTs on the composite elastic modulus exceeded micromechanics based semi-empirical predictions and were independent of surface functionalization. SEM morphological observations and the results of the micromechanical model revealed that nanotube re-distribution and orientation during processing was responsible for the enhancement of fiber-dominated mechanical properties. This work demonstrated the feasibility of in situ alignment and dispersion of functionalized nanotubes in multi-scale composite laminates.     

Incorporation of liquid-like multiwalled carbon nanotubes into an epoxy matrix by solvent-free processing

Covalent attachment of 2,2'-(ethylenedioxy)-diethylamine to multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) produced amino-functionalized MWCNTs which behaved like liquids at ambient temperature. These liquid-like MWCNTs (l-MWCNTs) could be homogeneously dispersed and chemically embedded in an epoxy matrix by solvent-free processing. In contrast, solid MWCNTs (s-MWCNTs) functionalized by 1,8-diaminooctane were poorly dispersed in epoxy although they possess chemical structures and functionalization comparable to l-MWCNTs. An epoxy composite filled with pristine MWCNTs (p-MWCNTs) was also fabricated in the absence of a solvent at the same loading for comparison. The molecular level coupling of l-MWCNTs and epoxy provided significant improvements in overall mechanical properties relative to those composites containing p-MWCNTs and s-MWCNTs. The Young's modulus, storage modulus, tensile strength, failure strain and toughness of neat epoxy were increased by 28.4, 23.8, 22.9, 24.1 and 66.1%, respectively, by adding 0.5?wt% of l-MWCNTs. Thus, functionalized carbon nanotubes in liquid form contributed to better dispersion and superior interfacial bonding with the epoxy matrix, thereby facilitating greater mechanical reinforcement efficiency.     

Mechanical performance of epoxy matrix hybrid nanocomposites containing carbon nanotubes and nanodiamonds

A novel class of epoxy matrix hybrid nanocomposites has been developed containing multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and nanodiamonds (NDs) to explore the combined effect of nanoreinforcements on the mechanical performance of nanocomposites. Both the nanofillers were functionalized before incorporating into epoxy matrix to promote interfacial interactions. The concentrations of both MWCNTs and NDs in the nanocomposites were increased systematically, i.e. 0.05 wt.%, 0.1 wt.% and 0.2 wt.% while composites containing individual nanoreinforcements were also manufactured for comparison. The developed nanocomposites were characterized microstructurally by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and mechanically by tensile, flexural, impact and hardness tests. Homogeneous dispersion of MWCNTs and NDs was observed under SEM, which resulted in the enhancement of mechanical properties of nanocomposites. The composites containing 0.2 wt.% MWCNTs and 0.2 wt.% NDs showed 50% increase in hardness while tensile strength and modulus enhanced to 70% and 84%, respectively. Flexural strength and modulus also showed a rise of 104% and 56%, respectively. Interestingly, fracture strain also increased in both the tensile and flexural testing. The impact resistance increased to 161% showing a significant improvement in the toughness of hybrid nanocomposites.
