用二甲基甲酰胺表面活性剂来超声分散多壁碳纳米管,制备成碳纳米管增强的环氧树脂基聚合物。常温下力学性能测试表明,随着碳纳米管含量的增加,其弹性模量先增后降。在50℃时,对于碳纳米管含量≤1%(质量分数)的复合材料,经历了可逆的粘弹性阶段后进入塑性变形,且温度对复合材料的弹性模量和拉伸强度影响较大;而对于碳纳米管含量〉1%的复合材料,其力学性能反而发生退化。
N,N-dimethylformamide surfactant methanol solution was developed to functionalize the surface of multi-waled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs). Carbon nanotubes reinforced epoxy composites with different concentrations were fabricated by sonicating funetionalized MWNTs solution to epoxy resin. Stress-strain behavior of the composites at room temperature shows its elastic modulus firstly increases and then decreases with the loading. At 50 ℃, the composites undergoes from the reversible visco-elasticity to plasticity and its elastic modulus, tensile strength affected clearly by temperature for the loading lower than 1%. For more than 1% loading, however, the mechanical properties degenerate clearly.
