EFFECT OF MOISTURE ON ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY OF CNT REINFORCED EPOXY NANOCOMPOSITES

Sima Navabizadeh (Concordia University) Suong V. Hoa (Concordia University) Daniel Rosca (Concordia University)

 

We investigate the effect of moisture on the electrical resistivity of epoxy containing CNT. The effect of different type, and different concentrations of nanotubes on the rate of diffusion as well as the maximum amount of water absorbed were studied.

EXPERIMENTAL METHODS AND RESULTS FOR THE REDUCTION OF RESIN SHRINKAGE BY THE ADDITION OF NANOPARTICLES FOR INCREASED DIMENSIONAL ACCURACY OF CARBON FIBER REINFORCED PLASTICS

Wibke Exner (German Aerospace Center) Peter Wierach (German Aerospace Center)

 

Process-induced distortions of carbon fiber reinforced plastics are a result of the resins chemical and thermal shrinkage. The addition of nanoparticles is one way to overcome this problem. Experimental methods and results are presented.

REINFORCEMENT OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS USING ARCHITURED CARBON NANOTUBES – CARBON FIBERS

Fabrice Laurent (Université de Haute Alsace) Hanae Oulanti (Université de haute Alsace) Thang Lehuu (Université de haute Alsace) Gildas L'Hostis (LPMT) Basma Hasiaoui (Université de haute Alsace) Bernard Durand (LPMT)

 

We present carbon nanotube (CNT) growth, using an oxyacetylene flame method, on carbon fibers, a method developed in the laboratory. The goal of this work is the “scaling-up” of the process in order to bring new properties to the composite materials.
