Mechanical properties of epoxy composites filled with multi-walled carbon nanotube, Nanoaluminum particles and glass fibers at elevated temperatures.

The present work investigates the mechanical properties of a composite material composed of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), nano-aluminum powder (NAP), and glass fibers (GF) for five different compositions. The study further investigated how MWCNTs contribute to maintaining the mechanical properties of nanocomposites when exposed to elevated temperatures, up to 180 °C. The evaluation of impact strength revealed that the nanocomposite, composed of 2 % MWCNTs, 15 % NAP, and 10 % GF, demonstrated the greatest impact strength.
