Abstract
This research aims to investigate the behavior of polymeric materials and polymer matrix composites for enhanced response to impact loads through modifying their mechanical properties by incorporating the polymer matrix material with a different percentages of CNT. In order to find the suitable polymer that can be used with carbon
nanotubes, three different types of polymers have been chosen and tested
(tensile and impact tests) to determine which type has higher mechanical
strength. All composite specimens with the different percentages of the
carbon nanotubes were tested under tensile and impact loads, and the
optimum percentage that can be added to the polymer matrix to enhance
the composite’s mechanical properties was determined.
The main results indicated that there is a siznificant effect of the....,
CNT on the polymer matrix composite. For all the percentages the tensile
strength has decreased with respect to the pure epoxy, and on the other
hand the impact resistance and the percentage elongation have been
increased for all the percentages of the CNT. Also it’s found that the
highest impact resistance and elongation percentage was found at 0.2%
wt CNT.
