Mechanical Behavior of Covalently Re-Modified Epoxy/MWCNT Nanocomposites

Some research have been conducted to study the effect of carbon nanotubes on the mechanical properties of epoxy/CNT systems [1,2]. Dean and coworkers showed that fluorination ofCNT improves epoxy matrix curing parameters and results in robust mechanical properties[2]. In our research the modifiedMWCNT is incorporated in different amounts into the epoxy resin to investigate its effect on the morphology and mechanical behavior of MWCNT/epoxy system.
