Abstract The exponential growth in composites and their increased use in military, aerospace, energy, and
automotive industry is driven by their high performance and light weight. High performance
thermosetting polymers such as cyanate ester have received considerable attention due to its
ability of volatile-free curing. It also offers advantages such as excellent radiation shielding, high
thermal stability, and hydrophobicity with lots of potential for enhanced mechanical strength. This
research article discusses the results of effects of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) at
predetermined loading levels of 0.5wt%, 1wt% and 1.5wt% on mechanical, thermal and flammability
properties of cyanate ester modified carbon fiber… More >
