Abstract

In this work, the effects of the dispersive condition and surface energy change of multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) on the mechanical properties of amino-functionalized MWCNT containing carbon fibers-reinforced epoxy composites were studied. Amino-functionalization of MWCNT was carried out by grafting spermidine and p-phenylenediamine onto the surfaces of MWCNT through amidation. The surface properties of the MWCNT before and after amidation were observed using scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscope (XPS), microscope, and contact angle measurements. Theoretical interfacial adhesions between the MWCNT and the epoxy resins were studied by calculating the work of adhesion and demonstrated by interlaminar shear strength (ILSS). From the experimental results, it was found that amino-functionalized MWCNT showed quite a homogeneous dispersion state in epoxy matrix resins. Additionally, the interfacial adhesions could be improved by amino-functionalizing MWCNTs surfaces. Consequently, the introduction of an amino-functional group on MWCNT surfaces positively affected the dispersibility of MWCNT, which resulted in improving the mechanical properties of the carbon fibers-reinforced epoxy composites.
