title = "Carbon nanotubes with dual wall structure; Properties and fracture behavior of epoxy nanocomposites",
abstract = "Epoxy-based nanocomposites were prepared using two different MWCNT with different manufacturing routes and structures. Both CNTs were subjected to a UV/ozone treatment and the changes in surface functionality and morphology were characterized. Various functional and mechanical properties as well as fracture resistance were measured and compared between the nanocomposites containing different CNTs. Their merits and weaknesses were identified. The implications of these findings and toughening mechanisms are discussed.",
