Enhancing thermal and water absorption properties of unsaturated polyester and epoxy by nanocarbon black powder

Abstract EN

This paper covers the effect of Nano carbon black powder (N220) on the some physical properties (thermal conductivity and water absorption) of unsaturated and epoxy resins filled with Nano carbon black powder (N220).

The polymer Nano composites, were prepared with (1 to 10 wt %) of carbon black nanoparticles using ultrasonic wave bath machine dispersion method.

The results had shown thermal conductivity of unsaturated and epoxy resins improved by (131.37% and 878 %) respectively, at 10 wt.

%.

The water absorption reduction by (55.41% at 4 wt %.

51.76 % at 6 wt.%) for unsaturated polyester and epoxy Nano composite, respectively.
