Methods to improve physical/chemical interaction between carbon nanotubes and BMI resin. Specifically, I'm looking for ways to covalent/non-covalent functionalization of carbon nanotubes which will help create interaction with BMI resin.
Thank you for the suggestion Dr. Roy. I am looking into it. Indeed, the method is novel and efficient as only 0.25% wt. loading of 'doubly modified' CNTs lead to a 23% improvement in tensile strength. However, the strength drops on increasing the loading to 0.5% wt. Could you attribute that to possible difficulty in uniformly dispersing the CNTs in the matrix?
