Abstract

Epoxy-based laminated composites containing recently developed woven Kevlar KM2Plus fibers and three different nanofillers [silicon carbide (SiC), aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT)] were fabricated using wet layup method. The addition of the nanofillers produced thermally stable nanocomposites with improved mechanical performance. MWCNT nanocomposites showed the best performance at 0.5 wt.% MWCNT content above which agglomeration degraded the mechanical performance.
