Abstract:
The mechanical properties and damping behavior of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic composites with functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes were examined. The functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes were blended with epoxy resins to prepare multi-walled carbon nanotubes/carbon fiber-reinforced plastic composites. The dispersion properties of functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes in epoxy resins were examined using surface free energy. The mechanical properties of functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes/carbon fiber-reinforced plastic composites were measured by interlaminar shear strength and torsion strength. The functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes/carbon fiber-reinforced plastic composites had superior mechanical properties due to the increase in dispersion properties of functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes in epoxy resins. However, the tan delta values of damping behavior, analyzed by dynamic mechanical analysis, varied with the type of functional groups of functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes. The composites obtained from functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes obtained through spermidine amidation reaction and carbon fiber-reinforced plastic showed excellent tan delta values due to the flexible segments in side chains.
