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

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
Epoxy resins are widely applied in cryogenic engineering and their cryogenic mechanical properties as important parameters have to be improved to meet the high requirements by cryogenic engineering applications. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are regarded as exceptional reinforcements for polymers. However
## Abstract To improve the mechanical and surface properties of poly(etherurethane) (PEU), multiβwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were surface grafted by 3,3,4,4, 5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8βtridecafluoroβ1βoctanol (TDFOL) (MWCNTβTDFOL) and used as reinforcing agent for PEU. Fourierβtransform infrared spectr
