Improving flexural and dielectric properties of carbon fiber epoxy composite laminates reinforced with carbon nanotubes interlayer using electrospray deposition

2020 , Muhammad Razlan Zakaria , Hazizan Md Akil , Mohd Firdaus Omar , Mohd. Mustafa Al Bakri Abdullah , Aslina Anjang Ab Rahman , Muhammad Bisyrul Hafi Othman

The electrospray deposition method was used to deposit carbon nanotubes (CNT) onto the surfaces of woven carbon fiber (CF) to produce woven hybrid carbon fiber–carbon nanotubes (CF–CNT). Extreme high-resolution field emission scanning electron microscopy (XHR-FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) were used to analyze the woven hybrid CF–CNT. The results demonstrated that CNT was successfully and homogenously distributed on the woven CF surface. Woven hybrid CF–CNT epoxy composite laminates were then prepared and compared with woven CF epoxy composite laminates in terms of their flexural and dielectric properties. The results indicated that the flexural strength, flexural modulus and dielectric constant of the woven hybrid CF–CNT epoxy composite laminates were improved up to 19, 27 and 25%, respectively, compared with the woven CF epoxy composite laminates.

Due to the synergistic effect that occurs between CNTs and alumina, CNT/alumina hybrid-filled epoxy nanocomposites show significant enhancements in tensile properties, flexural properties, and thermal conductivity. This study is an extension of previously reported investigations into CNT/alumina epoxy nanocomposites. A series of epoxy composites with different CNT/alumina loadings were investigated with regard to their thermal-degradation kinetics and lifetime prediction. The thermal-degradation parameters were acquired via thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) in a nitrogen atmosphere. The degradation activation energy was determined using the Flynn–Wall–Ozawa (F-W-O) method for the chosen apparent activation energy. The Ea showed significant differences at α > 0.6, which indicate the role played by the CNT/alumina hybrid filler loading in the degradation behavior. From the calculations, the lifetime prediction at 5% mass loss decreased with an increase in the temperature service of nitrogen. The increase in the CNT/alumina hybrid loading revealed its contribution towards thermal degradation and stability. On average, a higher Ea was attributed to greater loadings of the CNT/alumina hybrid in the composites.

Hierarchical carbon fiber-carbon nanotubes by using electrospray deposition method with preserved tensile properties

2022 , Muhammad Razlan Zakaria , Hazizan Md Akil , Mohd Firdaus Omar , Mohd. Mustafa Al Bakri Abdullah , Shayfull Zamree Abd. Rahim , M. Nabiałek , J.J. Wysłocki

In this study, the electrospray deposition (ESD) method was used to deposit carbon nanotubes (CNT) onto the surfaces of carbon fibers (CF) in order to produce hybrid carbon fiber-carbon nanotubes (CF-CNT) which is rarely reported in the past. Extreme high-resolution field emission scanning electron microscopy (XHR-FESEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to analyse the hybrid carbon fiber-carbon nanotube (CF-CNT). The results demonstrated that CNT was successfully and homogenously distributed on the CF surface. Hybrid CF-CNT was then prepared and compared with CF without CNT deposition in terms of their tensile properties. Statistically, the tensile strength and the tensile modulus of the hybrid CF-CNT were increased by up to 3% and 25%, respectively, as compared to the CF without CNT deposition. The results indicated that the ESD method did not cause any reduction of tensile properties of hybrid CF-CNT. Based on this finding, it can be prominently identified some new and significant information of interest to researchers and industrialists working on CF based products

Mechanical and dielectric properties of hybrid carbon nanotubes-woven glass fibre reinforced epoxy laminated composites via the electrospray deposition method

2021 , Muhammad Razlan Zakaria , Nur Aishahatul Syafiqa Mohammad Khairuddin , Mohd Firdaus Omar , Hazizan Md Akil , Muhammad Bisyrul Hafi Othman , Mohd. Mustafa Al Bakri Abdullah , Shayfull Zamree Abd. Rahim , Sam Sung Ting , Azida Azmi

Herein, the effects of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the mechanical and dielectric performance of hybrid carbon nanotube-woven glass fiber (GF) reinforced epoxy laminated composited are investigated. CNTs are deposited on woven GF surface using an electrospray deposition method which is rarely reported in the past. The woven GF deposited with CNT and without deposited with CNT are used to produce epoxy laminated composites using a vacuum assisted resin transfer moulding. The tensile, flexural, dielectric constant and dielectric loss properties of the epoxy laminated composites were then characterized. The results confirm that the mechanical and dielectric properties of the woven glass fiber reinforced epoxy laminated composited increases with the addition of CNTs. Field emission scanning electron microscope is used to examine the post damage analysis for all tested specimens. Based on this finding, it can be prominently identified some new and significant information of interest to researchers and industrialists working on GF based products

The introduction of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) onto glass fibre (GF) to create a hierarchical structure of epoxy laminated composites has attracted considerable interest due to their merits in improving performance and multifunctionality. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) was used to analyze the woven hybrid GF-CNT. The results demonstrated that CNT was successfully deposited on the woven GF surface. Woven hybrid GF-CNT epoxy laminated composites were then prepared and compared with woven GF epoxy laminated composites in terms of their tensile properties. The results indicated that the tensile strength and tensile modulus of the woven hybrid GF-CNT epoxy laminated composites were improved by up to 9% and 8%, respectively compared to the woven hybrid GF epoxy laminated composites.

Enhancement of mechanical and thermal properties of carbon fiber epoxy composite laminates reinforced with carbon nanotubes interlayer using electrospray deposition

2020 , Muhammad Razlan Zakaria , Hazizan Md Akil , Mohd Firdaus Omar , Muhammad Helmi Abdul Kudus , Fatin Nur Amirah Mohd Sabri , Mohd. Mustafa Al Bakri Abdullah

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was successfully deposited onto the surface of woven carbon fiber (CF) using the electrospray deposition method to produce a woven hybrid CF-CNT. The effect of voltage and spray times on the morphology of the woven hybrid CF-CNT have been studied. The voltage and spray time is crucial towards achieving a homogeneous CNT coating on the woven CF surface. The epoxy composite laminated with optimized woven hybrid CF-CNT and woven CF without the deposited CNTs were then prepared, and its tensile and thermal properties subsequently determined. The results showed that the woven hybrid CF-CNT epoxy composite laminates tensile strength increased by ~21%, its tensile modulus increased by ~37%, its interlaminar shear strength increased by ~25%, and its thermal conductivity increased by ~35% relative to that of the woven CF epoxy composite laminates.
