Abstract

In this study, an extensive analysis on the mechanical properties of epoxy matrix, polyimide matrix, and PLA (polylactic acid) biopolymer matrix in association with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) (CNTs/epoxy, CNTs/polyimide, and CNTs/PLA) for different applied stresses and humidity levels has been performed. Results found showed that the fiber–matrix interface of the carbon nanotubes/epoxy nanocomposite material and the carbon nanotubes/PLA bionanocomposite material exhibit more resistance to applied mechanical stress and under a humid environment, compared to the carbon nanotubes/polyimide nanocomposite material (with an average interface damage difference up to 23%). These findings affirm and align precisely with a recent study conducted by Kucharczyk, which revealed that the incorporation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in epoxy nanocomposites enhances their stiffness and elasticity, leading to improved mechanical properties of the structure. As a result, the two most promising composites out of the three studied for use in a humid environment are the bionanocomposite carbon nanotubes/PLA and the nanocomposite carbon nanotubes/epoxy. Nevertheless, considering the need for environmentally friendly options, the bionanocomposite carbon nanotubes/PLA is the preferred choice due to the biodegradability of its biopolymer PLA matrix.
