β¦ Synopsis
Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were oxyfluorinated at several different temperatures. The changes of surface properties of oxyfluorinated MWNTs were investigated using FT-IR, EDS and XRD. The treated MWNTs were embedded in the epoxy resin and the fracture behavior of the resulting composites was determined by impact and fracture toughness tests. From the surface analysis, it was found that surface fluorine and oxygen contents increased with increasing oxyfluorination temperature and showed a maximum value at 100 β’ C. This led to an increase of surface polarity of the MWNTs, resulting in increasing K IC and impact strength of the composites, due to the improvement of interfacial adhesion force between the MWNTs and the epoxy matrix.

Untreated and acid-treated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) were used to fabricate MWNT/ epoxy composite samples by sonication technique. The effect of MWNT addition and their surface modification on the mechanical properties were investigated. Modified Halpin-Tasi equation was used to evaluate
Sonication is one of the promising approaches to disperse nanoparticles into the base material thoroughly. Furthermore, coupling treatments for MWNTs and polymer matrix also contribute to homogenous dispersion of MWNTs among polymer matrix. In this paper, MWNTs and KH-550 were dispersed with acetone
## Abstract Aminoβfunctionalization of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was carried out by grafting triethylenetetramine (TETA) on the surfaces of MWCNTs through the acidβthionyl chloride way. The aminoβfunctionalized MWCNTs show improved compatibility with epoxy resin and, as a result, more h
In this study, montmorillonite (MMT) was modified using silane coupling agents (SCAs) to improve its interfacial adhesion to an epoxy matrix. The effects of the SCAs on the mechanical interfacial properties of MMT/epoxy nanocomposites were investigated by FT-IR, XRD, and TEM and with reference to th
