The present paper was aimed at achieving a study on carbon nanotubes-reinforced composites and involved obtaining and characterization of composites based on epoxy compounds modified with hydroxyl groups-containing compounds (glycols). In order to obtain high flexibility epoxy resins-based composites, carboxyl- functionalized MWCNTs were used as filler at a concentration of 0.5 %. The influence of the weight concentration in CNTs on the mechanical and thermo -mechanical properties of the epoxy compounds was evaluated in comparison to mechanical properties of the DGEBA standard composites reinforced with 0.5 % MWCNT.
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.
