摘要：
In this study, the synergistic effect of functionalized carbon nanotubes (fCNT) and micronsized rubber particles in improving the thermomechanical properties of epoxy resin is demonstrated. fCNT is mixed with carboxyl-terminated butadiene acrylonitrile toughened epoxy (CTBNTE) by ultrasonication followed by the addition of curing agent and mixing with planetary shear mixer. A significant improvement is noticed in fracture toughness (approximate to 200%) and thermal stability (approximate to 12 degrees C) of fCNT-filled CTBNTE system but only a marginal improvement in fracture toughness and thermal stability of pristine CNT-filled CTBNTE relative to epoxy. Dispersion of fCNT is better than pristine CNT in the epoxy matrix. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of fractured surface of fCNT-filled CTBNTE reveal plastic deformation zone, stress whitening, and overall rougher surface compared to pristine CNT-filled CTBNTE. The findings of our work show promise for use of fCNT in conjunction with a rubber toughener as filler for improving the properties of epoxy resin for advanced structural applications.
