Preparation and mechanical properties of Nanoclay-MWCNT/Epoxy hybrid nanocomposites

<p>Among the various kinds of reinforcing element, Multi Wall Carbon Nano-tubes (MWCNT) and Nanoclay have found much more attention as a filler element to upgrade mechanical properties polymer composite material. In this paper, production hybrid nanocomposites effect MWCNT nanoclay on been evaluated. nanocomposites, are embedded in epoxy resin. The processing nanocomposite is always difficult task for researcher prepare defects free samples. Here, Epoxy/Nanoclay-MWCNT composites has done by using homogenizer ultrasonic techniques complete dispersion nanoparticles into were resin different weight fractions mixtures used tensile test hardness specimen production. modulus strength values calculated via tests. result shows that samples increases content increase up certain extent but then start decreasing. Also elongation reduces rises which brittleness present Rockwell B-scale was conducted Nanocomposite increasing excessively does not improve much.</p>
