Effects of moisture absorption and surface modification using 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane on the tensile and fracture characteristics of MWCNT/epoxy nanocomposites

Effects of moisture absorption and surface modification using 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane on the tensile and fracture characteristics of MWCNT/epoxy nanocomposites - Applied Surface Science, 256(24), p.7658-7667, 2010 .

In this study, we examined the tensile and fracture behaviors of multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)reinforced epoxy nanocomposites with and without moisture absorption. The MWCNT/epoxy nanocomposites were fabricated using 0.1 wt.
