High Microwave Absorption of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (Outer Diameter 10 – 20 nm)-Epoxy Composites in R–Band

Enhanced corrosion protection performance with MWCNT dispersed epoxy coating prepared under supercritical CO2 assistance

“…The X‐ray diffraction patterns of the pristine MWCNT, cured epoxy, and MWCNT dispersed epoxy are given in Supporting Information (Figure S1). The sharp narrow peak (002 plane) at around 2θ = 25.99° for the pristine MWCNT was assigned to reflection of inter‐tubes with a d‐spacing (3.42 Å), while, a weak peak (100 plane) located at 2θ = 42.75° with d‐spacing (2.11 Å) was ascribed to reflection of graphite‐like structure . For the cured epoxy, the broad peak centered at 2θ = 19.50° was assigned to the amorphous structure of the epoxy .…”

The MWCNT dispersed epoxy exhibited characteristic peaks of both epoxy and MWCNT; however, the characteristic 002 peak of the MWCNT was weak in the composite .…”
