Flexural and shear properties of CFRP laminates reinforced with functionalized multiwalled CNTs

This study focuses on mechanical characterization of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates reinforced with non-treated and treated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) using nitric acid. The CNTs were treated using nitric acid to obtain carboxylic functional group. The epoxy resins are mix...
