This paper investigates the structure, length, and percentage of functional groups of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNT) depending on the time taken for functionalization in HNO3 and H2SO4 mixture. The carbon nanotube content and influence of functionalization time on mechanical properties of polymer composite materials based on epoxy matrix are studied. The extreme dependencies of mechanical properties of carbon nanotube functionalization time of polymer composites were established. The rise in tensile strength of obtained composites reaches 102% and elastic modulus reaches 227% as compared to that of unfilled polymer. The composites exhibited best mechanical properties by including carbon nanotube with 0.5 h functionalization time.

This study experimentally analyzed the hygrothermal effect on the static and fatigue strengths of acid-treated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs)/epoxy composites. The nanocomposite specimens with various CNT contents (0., 0.5, and 1.0 wt.%) were statically and fatigue-tested under three different hygrothermal conditions (25 °C/60% RH, 25° C/85% RH, and 40 °C/85% RH) to investigate the influences of hygrothermal conditions and CNT contents on the tensile static and fatigue strengths of the studied nanocomposites. The results show that the static and fatigue strengths decreased slightly at 25 °C/85% RH environments compared with those tested under the 25 °C/60% RH condition. However, the static and fatigue strengths of the studied nanocomposites decreased substantially under the 40 °C/85% RH condition. The combined temperature and humidity environments weaken the interfacial adhesion between the CNT surfaces and the epoxy matrix. Moreover, the experimental results show that the addition of 0.5 wt.% of carbon nanotubes improved the static and fatigue strengths considerably under the same hygrothermal environments. However, when an excessive amount of CNTs was used (1.0 wt.%), the nanocomposite exhibited the lowest strengths compared with the specimens with 0 and 0.5 wt.% CNTs. The stress concentration effect caused by the CNT aggregates was detrimental to the static and fatigue strengths of the studied nanocomposites.

This study proposed a method to improve the mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of epoxy composites by incorporating multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and multi-graphene platelets (MGPs) hybrid materials. The MWCNT can bridge adjacent MGPs and inhibit their aggregation effectively, leading to an increased contact surface area between MGP/MWCNT hybrid materials and epoxy matrix. From observing the fractured surface of composite by scanning electron microscope, MWCNT/MGP hybrid materials exhibited better compatibility than individual MWCNT and MGP did.The tensile strength of GD400-MWCNT/MGP/epoxy composites was 35.4% higher than that of epoxy, compared to only a 0.9% increase in tensile strength for MGP/epoxy composites. Thermal conductivity enhanced by 146.9% through incorporating MWCNT/MGP hybrid materials and 23.9% for MGP fillers, compared to non-derivatised epoxy.
