English Abstract

In this paper, the influence of adding hybrid nanomaterials (multi-walled carbon tubes with silicon carbide) to composite materials was studied on creep behavior at room temperature and constant load of (147.15) MPa.

Hybrid nanocomposites (multi-walled carbon tubes with silicon carbide) were prepared by dispersing (MWCNTs-Sic) in epoxy with different weight fractions (1and 2 % wt.

) using (sonication device).

The composite materials under study were prepared by reinforcing the resulting composite material by three layers of two-way (0-90) fibers glass using the vacuum bag technique.

The test specimens were prepared according to standards (ASTM).

The samples were tested by a creep test device that was designed and built (according to laboratory specifications and standards).

The results showed an improvement in creep behavior by about 8% and 13% for the specimen with hybrid nanocomposites (MWCNTs-Sic) (1% wt.

) and (2 % wt.

) respectively.
