Influence of Carbon Additives on Mechanical Characteristics of an Epoxy Binder

Mechanics of Solids Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract—

In the present article, we argue a choice of a modifier (filler) for an epoxy binder, namely, carbon nanotubes. The solid-state epoxy adhesive obtained by modification is a 3-phase nanocomposite, where the matrix is epoxy resin, the filler is nanotubes, and the contact layer is the domain of the epoxy resin, molecules of which have been undergone conformation. Next, the effective deformation characteristics of such an epoxy adhesive have been determined using experimental and theoretical methods. We claim that the asymptotic averaging method, which is only one with rigorous mathematical justification, gives results being in a good agreement with experimental ones (discrepancy of ~3.4%).
