Abstract

A study on the roughness improvement of epoxy by incorporating carbon nanotubes (CNT) into the resin was presented. The impact toughness was remarkably improved by 70% for incorporating only 0.5 wt% CNTs into the resin. It was observed that the surface treatment of CNTs in HNO₃ could further improve the mechanical properties, especially the impact toughness and elongation at break, probably due to better interfacial bonding, proven by x ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) spectra and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
