In the present work, a combination of experimental and numerical procedure is proposed to study the effects of different hygrothermal conditions on the creep strain, viscoelastic properties of nanocomposites, and mechanical properties of such nanocomposite-based carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) hybrid composite materials. Ultrasonic probe sonicator is used to randomly disperse the multiwalled carbon nanotubes into an epoxy to minimize agglomerations. Dynamic mechanical analysis is employed to conduct the creep tests under different hygrothermal conditions of such nanocomposite samples. The Findley power law is used to obtain the long-term creep behavior of nanocomposite materials. Prony series is used to determine the viscoelastic properties of nanocomposite material in the frequency domain. Coefficient of moisture expansion (CME) is independent of moisture concentration; thus, CME of the nanocomposite is also determined. Strength of materials and Saravanos–Chamis micromechanics (SCM) have also been utilized to obtain the mechanical properties of such hybrid composite materials under different hygrothermal conditions. It has been found that the inclusion of multiwalled carbon nanotubes in the nanocomposite and hybrid composites improves storage modulus and loss factor (i.e., tan δ) compared to the conventional CFRP-based composite materials under hygrothermal conditions.

Carbon nanotube/expanded graphite composite material was prepared by expanding the mixture of multi-walled carbon nanotubes and expansible graphite under the condition of high temperature. The microstructure and composition was studied by using SEM and XRD. The study shows that the tubular structure of carbon nanotubes in the composite material is changed by high temperature expanding process, and the microstructure is different with different expanding temperature. When the expanding temperature was 900°C, carbon nanotubes transformed, then attached to the surface of expanded graphite flake, so carbon nanotubes and expanding graphite combined strongly; globular carbon nanotubes attached to the surface of expanded graphite flake at the temperature of 700°C, both were combined much more strongly; carbon nanotubes retained the tube structure at the temperature of 500°C, combination was looser due to the simple physical adsorption. The result shows that the choice of expanding temperature has an important effect on microstructure of carbon nanotube/expanded graphite composite material.
