Özet
This study experimentally investigated the effects of nanoparticle reinforcement on the buckling behavior of composite materials. Different sizes of carboxylic acid functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes were used as nanoparticles. E-glass fiber-reinforced composite materials with polymer matrix in the [0°/90°/0°/90°]s cross-ply array with and without carbon nanotube reinforcement were produced by hand lay-up and vacuum bagging. Three types of carbon nanotubes in different sizes and proportions of 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, and 0.5% by weight were added to the epoxy resin. For the buckling test, the samples with two clamped and two free sides were attached to the universal testing machine to apply a uniaxial compressive load. As a result of the experiments, it was found that the addition of carbon nanotube in certain proportions increases the critical buckling load of composite materials. The highest increase in the critical buckling load (26.10% increase) was achieved with a carbon nanotube reinforcement of 0.2% by weight, having an outer diameter of 10–20 nm, internal diameter of 5–10 nm, and length of 0.5–2 mm. As the carbon nanotube sizes added to the epoxy resin decreased, the buckling strength increased.
