Abstract

This paper presents results of the processing of nanocomposites based on epoxy and nanofillers, namely multiwalled carbon nanotubes (up to 10wt%) and carbon black (up to 15wt%). The twin screw extruded nanocomposites showed increases in electrical and thermal conductivities, tensile strength, microhardness and glass transition temperature. Electrical conductivity increased on the order of 1011 at 10wt% of nanotubes loading and at 15wt% of carbon black. Greater increases in thermal and mechanical properties were observed in cases of nanotube-dispersed composites more so than others. SEM and AFM were used to examine the dispersion of the fillers.
