TY - JOUR ID - TI - Evaluation of mechanical properties of functionalized carbonnanotube reinforced PMMA polymer nanocomposite AU - Narasingh Deep*, Punyapriya Mishra PY - 2018 VL - 4 IS - 2 SP - 207 EP - 215 JO - Karbala International Journal of Modern Science مجلة كربلاء العالمية للعلوم الحديثة SN - 2405609X 24056103 AB - In this paper, the multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) were functionalized by chemical treatment for surface modificationto create a better interfacial adhesion between polymer and nanotubes. Functionalization has proved to be an effective method tomodulate different physical and chemical properties of the carbon nanotubes, facilitates dispersion and processing. The goal of thisstudy is to determine the mechanical properties of the nanocomposite using experimental methods. Various mechanical tests such astensile strength and impact strength were carried out to study the effect of functionalized filler content in the nanotube-reinforcedPoly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanocomposite. The surface morphology of MWCNT and of the fractured surface of thefabricated MWCNT/PMMA were analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).
