Modeling elastic behaviour in functionalized carbon nanotube suspensions
Source abstract
Abstract
This work reports recent experimental findings and rheological modeling on chemically treated single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) suspended in an epoxy resin. When a CNT suspension is subject to a steady shear flow, it exhibited a shear-thinning characteristic, which was subsequently modeled by a Fokker-Planck (FP) simple orientation model. In terms of viscoelasticity, small-amplitude oscillatory measurements revealed mild elasticity for semi-dilute CNT suspensions. Some tentative models are proposed in order to model the extra contribution of elasticity due to the presence of CNTs.
