Thermo‐mechanical properties of glass fiber and functionalized multi‐walled carbon nanotubes filled polyester composites

Glass fiber (GF) and hydroxyl‐functionalized multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)‐reinforced polyester‐based composites were prepared by solution casting technique. Unsaturated polyester (UPE) was mixed separately with a fixed amount (0.5 wt%) of hydroxyl‐functionalized MWCNTs and GF (5.0 wt%). Mu...
