Abstract In this research work, multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) particulate filler of various (0.9,
1.2, 1.5, & 1.8 wt %) weight percentage was used along with epoxy resin. A novel method of
distributing the MWCNT in epoxy had been employed to reduce the agglomeration problem by
charging the MWCNT electrostatically. The electrostatic charged (MWCNT) and uncharged
(MWCNT) were loaded on to matrix and then it was stirred by a mechanical mixer for 300
minutes continuously to achieve uniform distribution. The nano filler reinforced composite was
fabricated by using hand layup method and mechanical testing (Tensile More >
