| Abstract: | This study reports the synthesis and characterization of epoxy resin/redox graphene/nano-copper-nickel (EP/RGO/Cu-Ni) composites. The RGO/Cu-Ni was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Using dynamic thermodynamic analysis (DMA), the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the modified epoxy resin was increased by 21°C compared to EP. The addition of 1.3 wt% RGO/Cu-Ni to the epoxy matrix resulted in an increase of 79.6% and 161.3% respectively in the tensile strength and impact strength of the new material. Finally, the excellent mechanical properties of EP/RGO/Cu-Ni nanocomposites contribute to the research and development of new high-performance polymer materials. |
