Main Article Content
Abstract
Carbon nanotubes (CNT) and graphene nanoparticles (GNP) have
been used as carbonaceous filler in epoxy composites based on the diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) cured with tetra methyl diamine (TMD). Both CNT/epoxy and GNP/epoxy nanocomposites were subjected to ageing at 0%, 30%, 50%, 70% and 100% of relative humidity at room temperature for three weeks. Both composites show increasing water absorption percentage at higher relative humidity. Moreover, the GNP/epoxy nanocomposites showed a higher water absorption compared to CNT/epoxy nanocomposites. The dielectric constant increment of both nanocomposites is parallel to the water absorption properties. It is concluded that water absorption leads both to
increase the dielectric constant of the epoxy resin.
