dc.description.abstractHigh-performance epoxy-carbon nanotube (CNT) nanocomposites were prepared by simultaneous use of ultrasonication and mechanical stirring. The dynamic and static mechanical properties and wetting properties of the nanocomposites were investigated. The dynamic mechanical analysis presented significant enhancement in storage modulus (approximately 124%) and glass transition temperature (approximately 25.6%) of epoxy-CNT nanocomposite at an optimized concentration of the CNT (0.25 wt%) possibly due to the formation of a strong interface between the epoxy and CNT. The tensile test results showed the significant improvement in tensile strength (approximately 47%) and Young’s modulus (approximately 40%) of the epoxy-CNT (0.25 wt%) nanocomposite without significantly affecting its stiffness. The homogeneous dispersion of CNTs in the epoxy matrix resulted in the significant enhancement in the dynamic and static mechanical properties of the nanocomposites. The hydrophilic character of the neat epoxy was tuned to a highly hydrophobic one by incorporation of CNTs in it. A direct relation between the average roughness of the tensile fracture surfaces and the contact angle of the nanocomposites was identified with respect to the concentration of the CNTs. These high-performance highly hydrophobic nanocomposites have the great potential to be used as the structural and functional materials in humid environments. © The Author(s) 2017.-
