Abstract Tricomponent epoxy-matrix nanocomposites were prepared by airbrushing multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) on glass fiber fabric (GF), aiming to establish a scalable route to produce electromagnetic interference (EMI) materials. The MWCNT deposition on GF by airbrushing was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), showing a very reasonable dispersion even at high MWCNT concentrations. Electrical conductivity measurements have shown a maximum of 1.2x10-3 S/cm for GF with 3.4 wt% MWCNT. Electromagnetic shielding response for GF airbrushed with MWCNT and epoxy-matrix nanocomposites were analyzed considering reflection, absorption and transmission mechanisms and have shown an increasing trend as the MWCNT content increases, reaching the best result of 7.6 dB of shielding effectiveness (SE) in X-band spectra for the composite with 3.4 wt% MWCNT. The results showed that the airbrushing process can be a promising and easy route for manufacturing of MWCNT/GF/epoxy nanocomposites. epoxymatrix epoxy matrix (MWCNT GF, , (GF) EMI (EMI materials SEM, SEM (SEM) concentrations 1.2x103 12x103 x 1.2x10 3 1 2x10 1.2x10- Scm S cm 34 4 3. wt reflection increases 76 7 6 7.

In this study, the thermal, dynamic-mechanical and tribological behavior of nanocomposites of a photocurable epoxy-acrylate resin and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) are investigated. A route consisting of a combination of sonication, mechanical and magnetic stirring is used to disperse 0.25-0.75 wt. (%) MWCNT into the resin. Two photocuring cycles using 12 hours and 24 hours of UV-A radiation are studied. The storage modulus, the loss modulus and the tan delta are obtained by dynamic mechanical analysis. Thermal stability is investigated by thermogravimetry, morphology by transmission electronic microscopy (TEM) and tribological performance using a pin-on-disk apparatus. The results indicate an increase in stiffness and higher ability to dissipate energy, as well as a shift in the glass transition temperature for the nanocomposites. The addition of nanofillers also decreased friction coefficient and wear rate of the nanocomposites but did not change the observed wear mechanisms.
