Which of the methods like water jet cutting, diamond cutting, laser cutting, etc. is more suitable to cut the carbon nanotubes reinforced epoxy composites into test sample to ensure the clean edges and why?
Md Syduzzaman its an interesting question, theoretically I believe that such cutting can be made by using a tools which is of lesser effective dimension than the object to be dissociated. For this different forms of energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation (like laser) or sound wave (different frequencies during ultra-sonication) usually carried for separation of aggregation of particles. I may not be correct but it is my understanding that such thing may be used,
The best technology to cut CNT reinforced nanocomposite is NASA's developed tool. Please see the following link. It looks very simple, but very effective.
