Effect of Suspension Concentration on filtering time and CNT Treatment on Properties of Buckypaper for Epoxy/BuckyPaper Nanocomposite Production

Due to the unique physical properties of carbon nanotubes, including mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties, CNTs are used as the most promising reinforcement materials for usein high performance composites. However, good tube dispersion and high nanotube loading and strong interfacialbonding are essential for fabricating high performance CNT buckypaper nanocomposites. The filtering time and properties of final buckypaper are important parameters in buckypaperproduction. By enhancement of CNT concentration, volume of suspension for filtration and filtering time are reduced. Acid treatment leads to remove of surfactant and excellent buckypaper
