Functionalization Of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes And The Interactions Of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes In Epoxy Composites, Christopher Fitzwater
Functionalization Of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes And The Interactions Of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes In Epoxy Composites, Christopher Fitzwater
University of Kentucky Master's Theses
Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) are a relatively new allotrope of carbon that have potentially useful properties that may improve polymer composites. The work of this thesis explores the interactions between MWNTs and functionalized MWNTs within epoxy matrix and the properties of the MWNT/epoxy composite. These interactions were characterized with an emphasis on finding how well the MWNT/epoxy composite flows and how conductive it is after curing.
