Mechanical Properties and Flame Retardancy of Epoxy Resin/Nanoclay/Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube Nanocomposites

This paper reports the improvement of the mechanical properties and flame retardant properties of epoxy Epikote 240/nanoclay I.30E/multiwalled carbon nanotube nanocomposite prepared by mechanical stirring method combined with ultrasonic vibration, nanoclay I.30E content (1; 2; 3 wt.%) and content of MWNT (0.01; 0.02; 0.03 wt.%). When burned, MWCNT reduces degradation speed of epoxy Epikote 240 resin and increases the char yield, and nanoclay acts as an energy storage medium to hinder the heat transfer in epoxy resin. The limiting oxygen index value and UL94 test indicated improvement of flame retardancy of the nanocomposites. The results exhibit the potentiality of these based epoxy Epikote 240 resin/nanoclay I.30E/MWCNTs nanocomposites for multifaceted advanced applications. These fillers can produce environmental friendly products with high thermal and mechanical properties.

Morphology And Mechanical Properties

This work aims to study the optimal conditions to synthesize hydroxyapatite-multiwalled carbon nanotube (HAp-MWCNT) coatings on Ti6Al4V by electrodeposition technique. The structural behaviors, morphology, and mechanical properties of the coatings were characterized by various advanced methods. The analyzed results showed that the obtained coatings were composed of hydroxyapatite (HAp) and multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) phases. The presence of MWCNTs in the HAp-MWCNT composite, which improved adhesion between the coatings and the substrate about 2.3 times, increased 20% of hardness and decreased about 40% the solubility of HAp-MWCNTs/Ti6Al4V in comparison with pure HAp coating on Ti6Al4V.
