Abstract

Carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy composites (CFEC) were fabricated infusing 0–0.40 wt% XD-grade carbon nanotube (XD-CNT) using the compression molding process under 16 kips. XD-CNTs were infused into Epon 862 resin using a mechanical stirrer followed by a high intensity ultrasonic liquid processor. The...
