Effect of Frequency on the Dynamic Mechanical Properties of Epoxy Resin/Carbon Fiber/Carbon Nanotubes Composites

The composites of the epoxy resins reinforced with unidirectional carbon fibers were prepared via hot pressing of the carbon fibers prepregs. Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) derivatives (parent CNTs, low carboxylated CNTs (LCCNTs) and higher carboxylated CNTs (HCCNTs)) were incorporated into the epoxy resin/carbon fiber (E/C) composite. The effect of frequency on the dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) properties of the composites showed some improvements
