epoxy resin enhanced with carbon nanotubes(CNTs) was dispersed by ultrasonic disruption and ultrasonic agitation. TEM was used to analyze the morphology of CNTs before and after two different dispersing presses. Rheological property

curing behavior

thermal behavior and mechanic behavior was compared using two dispersing method. The results show ultrasonic agitation can shorten the CNTs and improved their dispersion state in the resin

there is barely difference of curing behavior and rheological property between ultrasonic disruption and ultrasonic agitation

but the methods have influence on mechanic behavior and Tg.
