Influence of filler alignment in the mechanical and electrical properties of carbon nanotubes/epoxy nanocomposites

In this work, we report the mechanical and electrical properties of carbon nanotubes/epoxy composites prepared with aligned and randomly oriented nanotubes as filler. The samples are disks of 30 mm in diameter and 3 mm in thickness. To obtain the carbon nanotubes alignment, an external electric fiel...
