Polymer Grafted Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube as a Novel Toughening Agent for Epoxy System

Abstract:

Hydroxyl terminated poly (ethersulfone) was used to modify the surface of multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT). The grafting reaction was confirmed by different characterization techniques such as Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, Raman Spectroscopy and Transmission Electron Microscope. Epoxy nanocomposites using the modified fillers were prepared. The fracture toughness of the system was examined and compared with MWCNT-epoxy nanocomposite.
