Strength and modulus of carbon nanotubes under a tensile load
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were fabricated using low-pressure chemical vapor deposition and then embedded in epoxy polymer at several weight ratios, 0, 0.75, 1.5, and 3 wt%, for tensile testing and Young’s modulus determination using an Instron machine. The tensile strength and Young’s modulus of the e...

| description | Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were fabricated using low-pressure chemical vapor deposition and then embedded in epoxy polymer at several weight ratios, 0, 0.75, 1.5, and 3 wt%, for tensile testing and Young’s modulus determination using an Instron machine. The tensile strength and Young’s modulus of the epoxy resin were increased with the addition of CNTs to a certain extent, and then decreased with the increase in the weight fraction of CNTs. The best properties occurred at 1.5 wt% of CNTs. Scanning electron microscopy was used to reveal the dispersion status of CNTs in the nanocomposites. |
