“…It is seen that MWCNTs have increasing effect on impact strengths of samples. It is stated in the literature that addition of MWCNTs to unsaturated polyester resin improves its coefficient of friction value [32]. It can be said that the increase in the coefficient of friction value of the resin may be the reason of increment of the impact strength of the MWCNT-added composite structures.…”

The influence of adding different types of multi-walled carbon nanotubes on mechanical (tensile strength and impact strength), thermo-mechanical (storage modulus, loss modulus and damping factor) and thermal properties (thermogravimetric and differential scanning calorimetry analysis) of fabric-reinforced polyester-based composite structures are analyzed in this study. Jute, E-glass and carbon fabrics are preferred as the reinforcement materials. Four-plied fabric-reinforced composites are fabricated using vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding technique. Results indicate that adding different types of multi-walled carbon nanotubes have increasing effect on mechanical and thermo-mechanical properties of composite structures; however, they have barely effect on thermal properties. Pristine multi-walled carbon nanotube-added specimens show higher mechanical and thermo-mechanical properties compared to functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotube-added samples.
