Abstract: In order to improve the dispersion of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in epoxy resin matrix, the acidified carbon nanotubes (a-MWCNTs) was epoxidized modification with silane coupling agent (KH560) and bisphenol A epoxy resin(E44), respectively. Then, the glass fiber reinforced composites were prepared by hot pressing with o-cresol epoxy resin (o-CFER). The structure and performance of MWCNTs/o-CFER la-mination nanocomposites were studied. The results showed that epoxy functional groups were successfully introduced into the surface of a-MWCNTs after reacting with KH560 and E44 respectively. Compared with a-MWCNTs without epoxidation, the thermal stability and glass transition temperature (Tg) of o-CFER laminated composites were improved by adding epoxidation modified carbon nanotubes, the crosslinking degree of the system was increased, and the mechanical properties showed a trend of first increase and then decrease. When the content of KH560-MWCNTs and E44-MWCNTs is 1%(Mass fraction, same below), the Tg of the composites increases by 6.5 ℃ and 9 ℃, respectively. The impact strength of KH560-MWCNTs modified system is the best, which improved 129.1% compared with glass fiber reinforced pure o-CFER when the content of KH560-MWCNTs is 1%. The tensile strength of E44-MWCNTs modified system is the best, and when the content of E44-MWCNTs is 1%, the tensile strength of the composite is increased by 29.9% compared with that of glass fiber reinforced pure o-CFER. SEM results show that the epoxy functionalized MWCNTs improve their dispersion in the o-CFER matrix,the interaction between matrix and reinforced fiber is enhanced.
