Dynamic characteristics of carbon nanotube reinforced epoxy resin composite materials

摘要

Carbon nanotubes(CNTs) were modified by alkali, and carbon nanotubes epoxy composites samples were prepared by the hot pressing method. Dynamic characteristics of the composites were studied by experiments. The results suggest that carbon nanotubes can hardly enhance the first natural frequency of epoxy composite, but the change of second and third order natural frequencies are obvious compared with the first one. Damping properties of the composites are improved, and with the mass ratio of CNTs increasing, the first three order damping properties of composites are all increased initially followed by the decrease. The results also indicate that flexural elastic modulus of the composites is enhanced, the first and the second order dynamic elastic modulus is greater than it but the third order is opposite. The first three order dynamic modulus of elasticity moments of CNTs composites whose mass fraction is two percent are all high.
