Abstract

Within the scope of experiments, three kinds of biaxial weft-knitted (BWK) fabrics with various loop lengths (8.0, 9.2 and 10.5 mm) and multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) (0 and 1.7 wt%) were used as reinforcement systems to fabricate MWCNTs integrated thermoplastic composites with polypropylene (PP) resin yarn/glass fiber (GF). The mechanical properties of the composites were investigated by conducting the three-point bending and Charpy impact tests on the specimens. The specimens with the 10.5 mm loop length and 1.7-wt% MWCNTs showed the highest values of flexural strength properties with an improvement of about 15 % in the flexural strength compared to the specimens with the 10.5 mm loop length and without MWCNTs in 0° direction. The specimens with the 8.0 mm loop length and 1.7-wt% MWCNTs showed the highest values of the Charpy impact energy properties with an improvement of about 23 % in Charpy impact energy compared to the specimens with the 8.0 mm loop length and without MWCNTs in 90° direction. The improvement in the bending and impact properties of the composites can most likely be attributed to an increase in interfacial adhesion due to the presence of the carbon nanotubes.
