dc.description.abstractCarbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) are extremely ideal nanofillers for applications in damping polymer. This work explores the damping behavior of polymer nanocomposite beams made of epoxy resin reinforced with CNTs and GNPs experimentally. Beam specimens for the vibration tests together with dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) are fabricated with different weight ratios of CNTs and GNPs, upon which DMA and free vibration tests are conducted. Scanning electron microscope images are also obtained to check the dispersion of nanofillers in microscale. It is found that the first-order loss factor of composite beam specimens shows a rise of 41.1% at 0.4 wt% CNT content compared with that of pure epoxy, while the first-order loss factor of composite beam specimens with 0.025 wt% GNP content increases up by 128.9%. The maximum value of the first-order loss factor of nanocomposite beams with GNP reinforcement is 62.2% higher than that with CNTs.
