Abstract Much research is currently being performed with carbon nanotube additives to neat resin systems to enhance properties such as thermal and electrical
conductivity, strength, modulus and damping. Fabrication of parts based on carbon nanotube filled resin systems requires information on their
cure kinetics and rheology, which has been relatively less studied so far. This work presents an extensive experimental study that systematically
characterizes the cure kinetics and viscosity as a function of degree of cure and temperature of EPON 815C/EPICURE 3274 epoxy resin system laden
with carbon nanotubes. Studies are conducted to determine the effects More >
