Abstract
In this article, the effects of shear mixing on the dispersion improvement of the carbon nanotube fillers in epoxy composites were studied. Through the scanning electron microscope images showing the quantitative results and the tensile tests giving the qualitative data, we can see the dispersion improvement of the fillers. The composite specimen containing 0.6 wt% fillers shows the biggest value of tensile strength. For the tensile stiffness, the specimens containing more filler have the larger values of tensile stiffness.
