The Durability of Carbon Fiber/Epoxy Composites under Hydrothermal Ageing

Studies on fibre reinforced composites are now receiving greater attention. Industrial applications have been successful in areas like aerospace, automobile, marine, construction and sporting goods. The first generation of epoxy resins for use in carbon fibre composites are able to achieve optimized high stiffness modules and high heat resistance by a high crosslink density, reached through the...

Creep and Dynamic Mechanical Behavior of Natural Fiber/Functionalized Carbon Nanotubes Modified Epoxy Composites

The creep and dynamic mechanical behavior of natural fiber/epoxy composites using functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) modified matrix were investigated. 0.4 wt% of MWCNTs functionalized with carboxylic acid groups (MWCNTs-COOH) were dispersed in epoxy and three-phase multiscale hybrid composites were processed by hot press. Natural fiber/epoxy two-phase composites without MWCNT...

Nonlinear Ultrasounic Resonance Spectroscopy of Intact Carbon Fiber/Epoxy Composites

The present study reports the influence of fiber orientation, laminate sequence and fabric type on the inherent nonlinearity of intact carbon fiber/epoxy composites using nonlinear resonant ultrasonic spectroscopy (NRUS) [1-2]. Fiber orientation of the CFRP samples were changed relative to the length of the sample. Since the fundamental flexural mode is excited, the properties of the composite ...

Flexural behavior of carbon nanotube-modified epoxy/basalt composites

Copyright © Korean Carbon Society http://carbonlett.org Abstract The use of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as a reinforcing material in a polymer matrix has increased in various industries. In this study, the flexural behavior of CNT-modified epoxy/ basalt (CNT/epoxy/basalt) composites is investigated. The effects of CNT modification with silane on the flexural properties of CNT/epoxy/basalt composite...
