Epoxy resin nanocomposites with hydroxyl (OH) and amino (NH2) functionalized boron nitride nanotubes

Hydroxyl (OH) and amino (NH2) functionalized boron nitride nanotubes (f-BNNTs) were integrated into an epoxy resin (Epon828) to achieve improved mechanical properties. While raw BNNT-composites yielded the largest values for Young’s modulus and appeared to be well mixed, f-BNNTs were found to provid...
