Description
Summary:In the present investigation, hand layup processed composites and hot-pressed Carbon matrix reinforced composites were manufactured with and without the addition of carbon nanotubes. The fabricated composites were tested for its mechanical and fracture properties using ASTM testing standards. The results showed that the carbon nanotubes reinforced composites have shown improved tensile and fracture properties when compared with carbon fabric reinforced epoxy composites. The main focus of the present investigation is to study the role and effect of CNT filler as a secondary reinforcement to carbon fibre reinforced epoxy composites. The results of these investigations provide insight into of fracture behaviour of CNT filled carbon fibre reinforced epoxy composites under autoclave chamber.
