Experimental Study of the Creep Behaviour of Nano-Composites Carbon Fibres

Abstract

In this work, the effect of nano carbon black particles (N220) on creep behaviour of epoxy-fibres carbon composites was study. The nano composites were prepared with (2, 3and 4 wt %) of carbon black nanoparticles using ultrasonic wave bath machine dispersion method. The creep test was performed by using creep test rig for carbon- epoxy composite specimen with and without add carbon black nanoparticles. The volume fraction of this work (volume of carbon fiber to volume of composites specimen) was 30 %. The result show that, there is an improvement on the creep strain behaviour (10 %), (12.5 %) and (19%) for the specimen with nano carbon (2%), (3%) and (4%) wt % respectively.
