Dear all,
I have made a nanocomposite of CNT-PDMS nanocomposite and wish to do tensile testing of this composite. I came across papers with other material wherein they follow specific ASTM standard for tensile testing. Can anyone what should be the ASTM module I should follow (Preferably references)
Thank you in advance for kind help :)
I would use the same ASTM 412, used for the pure PDMS elastomers (http://www.gruppofrattura.it/ocs/index.php/ICF/icf13/paper/viewFile/11466/10845) to evaluate the effect of CNT reinforcement
Dear Farms
You should follow ASTM D638. This paper can help you about the shap of samples (dog bon).
If your samples are very small, you can use sub size. You can find sub size information in Dr.Mehdi Mahmoodi's PhD thesis, university of Calgary.
