This work investigates the role of different concentrations of a polyester‐polyurethane‐based block copolymer (BCP) on epoxy resin nanocomposites with allotropic carbon nanoparticles (graphene nanoplatelets [GNPs] or carbon nanotubes [CNTs]) on thermal, morphological, and mechanical properties, focusing on fracture toughness and its mechanisms. Amounts of BCP corresponding to 1x, 5x, and 10x the mass of nanoparticles were added. Nanocomposites with a low concentration of BCP (1x) were stronger than the neat epoxy, while high concentrations of BCP (10x) yielded a negative effect for both studied carbon nanoparticles. Fracture toughness (KIc) performed better at a 5x BCP concentration and this effect was greater for the system with CNTs. Likewise, for the GIc, the best results were seen in nanocomposites with 5x BCP, with a greater increase in the system with GNPs. In all nanocomposite systems with BCPs, the soft phase self‐arrangement mechanisms, that is, debonding/cavitation and consequent voids on the fracture surface, were verified.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
