摘要

Abstract

Carbon nanotube (CNT)/epoxy nanocomposites have a great potential of possessing many advanced properties. However

the homogenization of CNT dispersion is still a great challenge in the research field of nanocomposites. This study applied a novel dispersion agent

carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)

to functionalize CNTs and improve CNT dispersion in epoxy. The effectiveness of the CMC functionalization was compared with mechanical mixing and a commonly used surfactant

sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (NaDDBS)

regarding dispersion

mechanical and corrosion properties of CNT/epoxy nanocomposites with three different CNT concentrations (0.1%

0.3% and 0.5%). The experimental results of Raman spectroscopy

particle size analysis and transmission electron microscopy showed that CMC functionalized CNTs reduced CNT cluster sizes more efficiently than NaDDBS functionalized and mechanically mixed CNTs

indicating a better CNT dispersion. The peak particle size of CMC functionalized CNTs reduced as much as 54% (0.1% CNT concentration) and 16% (0.3% CNT concentration)

compared to mechanical mixed and NaDDBS functionalized CNTs. Because of the better dispersion

it was found by compressive tests that CNT/epoxy nanocomposites with CMC functionalization resulted in 189% and 66% higher compressive strength

224% and 50% higher modulus of elasticity than those with mechanical mixing and NaDDBS functionalization respectively (0.1% CNT cencentration). In addition

electrochemical corrosion tests also showed that CNT/epoxy nanocomposites with CMC functionalization achieved lowest corrosion rate (0.214 mpy)

the highest corrosion resistance (201.031 Ω·cm

)

and the lowest porosity density (0.011%).
