Effect of water absorption on graphene nanoplatelet and multiwalled carbon nanotubes-impregnated glass fibre-reinforced epoxy composites

In this study, the effect of water uptake on graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) and multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-impregnated glass fibre-reinforced epoxy composites was examined. The composite was manufactured using a hand lay-up and vacuum bagging technique. The nanofiller was mixed with epoxy usi...
