Abstract:ABSTRACT:Sodium-montmorillonite (Na + -MMT) was introduced into single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT)/epoxy composite to investigate the effect of MMT size and MMT/SWCNT ratio on the mechanical and electrical properties of composite. Three different sizes of MMTs were used and all were found to function as effective dispersion aids for SWCNTs. Mechanical properties of SWCNT/epoxy composite increased with MMT content; tending to decrease once the MMT content reached a critical level. However, the surface electric… Show more
