Abstract

In this work, the relations between fracture surface roughness in mode I and the content of different carbon nanoparticles, graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) and carbon nanotubes (CNT) were systematically investigated. A block copolymer (BC) was also used to aid the dispersion process considering its role on fracture toughness. Both KIc and GIc were found to increase significantly with the addition of a BC along with carbon nanoparticles. Roughness measurements showed that the value of surface roughness (Ra) does not depend on the toughness, and decreases as the precrack distance increases. In the system with the greatest amount of graphene (0.5 wt%), the agglomerates impaired the material's tenacity and crack deflection with GNP delamination as the fracture mechanism. As for the CNT/epoxy nanocomposites with the BC, strong adhesion between matrix and nanotubes prevented debonding, so the CNTs break, rather than pulling out, after crack bridging, the so called sliding‐fracture mode failure.
