Abstract

Similar substrates of carbon/carbon (C/C) and carbon/carbon–silicon carbide (C/CSiC) composites were bonded with pure epoxy resin and the one containing 3% multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The results show that MWCNT/filled epoxy resin bonded C/CC/C and C/CSiCC/CSiC substrates have a higher adhesive joint strength than those bonded with epoxy resin alone. MWCNTs increase the toughness and strength of the epoxy resin, which increases the interface bond strength between two similar matching surfaces.
