Fracture Toughness and Elastic Modulus of Epoxy-Based Nanocomposites with Dopamine-Modified Nano-Fillers
This paper examines the effect of surface treatment and filler shape factor on the fracture toughness and elastic modulus of epoxy-based nanocomposite. Two forms of nanofillers, polydopamine-coated montmorillonite clay (D-clay) and polydopamine-coated carbon nanofibres (D-CNF) were investigated. It was found that Young's modulus increases with increasing D-clay and D-CNF loading. However, the f...
متن کاملImprovement of Fracture Toughness in Epoxy Nanocomposites through Chemical Hybridization of Carbon Nanotubes and Alumina
The current study investigated the effect of adding a carbon nanotube-alumina (CNT-Al₂O₃) hybrid on the fracture toughness of epoxy nanocomposites. The CNT-Al₂O₃ hybrid was synthesised by growing CNTs on Al₂O₃ particles via the chemical vapour deposition method. The CNTs were strongly attached onto the Al₂O₃ particles, which served to transport and disperse the CNTs homogenously, and to prevent...
متن کاملMacromolecular Nanotechnology Nanocomposites based on vapor-grown carbon nanofibers and an epoxy: Functionalization, preparation and characterization
Vapor-grown carbon nanofibers (VGCNF) were functionalized with amine-containing pendants via a Friedel–Crafts acylation reaction with 4-(3-aminophenoxy)benzoic acid. The resulting H2N-VGCNF was treated with epichlorohydrin, followed by sodium hydroxide solution to afford N,N-diglycidyl-modified VGCNF that is designated as epoxy-VGCNF. Subsequently, epoxy-VGCNF was dispersed in an epoxy resin (E...
متن کاملOn Materials Informatics and Knowledge Discovery: Mechanical Characterization of Vapor-grown Carbon Nanofiber/ Vinyl Ester Nanocomposites
In this study, data mining and knowledge discovery techniques were employed to acquire new information about the viscoelastic, flexural, compression, and tension properties for vapor-grown carbon nanofiber (VGCNF)/vinyl ester (VE) nanocomposites. These properties were used to design a unified VGCNF/VE framework solely from data derived from a designed experimental study. Formulation and process...
متن کاملimproving fracture toughness of epoxy nanocomposites by silica nanoparticles
an epoxy resin was modified by silica nanoparticles and cured with an anhydride. the particles with different batches of 12, 20, and 40 nm sizes were each distributed into the epoxy resin ultrasonically. electron microscopy images showed that the silica particles were well dispersed throughout the resin. tensile test results showed that young’s modulus and tensile strength increased with the vo...
