Abstract
The objective of this study is to optimize the processing parameters of CNTs reinforced epoxy composites using ultrasonication method by measuring flexural strength and fracture toughness. The effect of CNTs amount, sonication intensity, and sonication time on strength and toughness properties of epoxy composites were investigatedusing and the result show that the addition of CNTs in epoxy composites improved the flexural strength and fracture toughness of the composites. Keywords- Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs); Epoxy Composites; Flexural Strength, Fracture Toughness, Optimization
