PREDICTING THE STIFFNESS OF BIAXIAL BRAIDED FIBER COMPOSITES BY INCORPORATION OF CARBON NANO FIBER
In this study, carbon nano fibers (CNFs) were mixed into epoxy resin through a magnetic stirrer and again mixed using ultra sonicator. Using hand layup technique, biaxial braided fiber composites were prepared with unfilled, 0.2, 0.5 and 1 wt% CNF. Tensile test and shear test was performed to identify the tensile strength and shear strength of the composites. Fractured surface of the tensile sp...
متن کاملOn the Mechanical Properties of Chiral Carbon Nanotubes
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are specific structures with valuable characteristics. In general, the structure of each nanotube is defined by a unique chiral vector. In this paper, different structures of short single-walled CNTs are simulated and their mechanical properties are determined using finite element method. For this aim, a simple algorithm is presented which is able to model the geometry o...
متن کاملHybrids of Polystyrene-b-Poly(ethylene-ran-butylene)-b- Polystyrene Reinforced by Electrospun Polyimide/ Carbon Nanotube Nanofibers: Preparation and Properties
Using electrospinning technique, well-aligned poly(azo-ether-imide) (PAEI) nano-fibers and PAEI/multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) nano-fibers were developed in this effort. Afterwards, polystyrene-b-poly (ethylene-ran-butylene)-b-polystyrene (SEBS) and polyimide-based nano-fiber films were casted. The as-prepared electrospun nanofibers acted as homogeneous reinforcement to enhance the tensile...
متن کاملEnhanced mechanical properties of nanocomposites at low graphene content.
In this study, the mechanical properties of epoxy nanocomposites with graphene platelets, single-walled carbon nanotubes, and multi-walled carbon nanotube additives were compared at a nanofiller weight fraction of 0.1 +/- 0.002%. The mechanical properties measured were the Young's modulus, ultimate tensile strength, fracture toughness, fracture energy, and the material's resistance to fatigue c...
متن کاملCarbon nanotubes as electrodes for dielectrophoresis of DNA.
Dielectrophoresis can potentially be used as an efficient trapping tool in the fabrication of molecular devices. For nanoscale objects, however, the Brownian motion poses a challenge. We show that the use of carbon nanotube electrodes makes it possible to apply relatively low trapping voltages and still achieve high enough field gradients for trapping nanoscale objects, e.g., single molecules. ...
