Abstract

Chemical oxidation and plasma polymerization were employed to functionalize the surfaces of multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Then MWCNTs reinforced cyanate ester/epoxy resin nanocomposites were manufactured. The effect of the two functionalization processes on mechanical properties of the nanocomposite was investigated in terms of tensile test at room and cryogenic temperatures and observation of their fracture surfaces with SEM. Results show that the plasma polymerized MWCNTs (plasma-MWCNTs) may be dispersed more homogenously in the matrix and possess stronger interfacial bonding with the resin in comparison with the chemical oxidized ones. With addition of 0.3%(mass fraction) plasma-MWCNTs, the tensile strength, tensile modulus and impact strength of nanocompoistes at room and cryogenic temperature were simultaneously improved compared with the pure cyanate ester/epoxy resin matrix.
