The impact of fluorinated MWCNT additives on the enhanced dynamic mechanical properties of e-beam-cured epoxy
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Multi-walled carbon nanotubes were embedded into e-beam-cured epoxy resin to improve the mechanical properties of epoxy resin. The surfaces of these carbon nanotubes were modified using a fluorination treatment to improve their dispersion and adhesion in epoxy resin. The dynamic mechanical properties of epoxy/carbon nanotube composites were investigated at various heating rates and frequencies. As an effect of fluorination treatment, the semi-ionic bond of C–F on the surface of multi-walled carbon nanotubes played an important role in the improved dispersion and adhesion of carbon nanotubes into the epoxy resin. The storage modulus and loss modulus of the composites increased with higher applied frequency. The activation energy of the composites was increased by the effects of a higher heating rate due to the slow heat transfer in the epoxy/carbon nanotube composites. Eventually, the dynamic mechanical properties of the investigated epoxy were significantly improved by the carbon nanotubes dispersed therein via the fluorination treatment.
