This study examines the impact of ultraviolet (UV) exposure on the mechanical properties of epoxy/MWCNT (Multi-walled Carbon Nanotube) nanocomposites. The research includes an investigation of tensile strength, surface morphology through FE-SEM (Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy), compressive strength, and hardness. The study involves epoxy resin (Dupoks 50A) and MWCNTs from Sky Spring Nanomaterials. Results, based on UV exposure times of 60, 120, and 180 minutes, reveal nuanced effects on mechanical properties. Tensile strength increases up to 45.77 MPa with 0.6 gm MWCNTs, while compressive strength peaks at 4.712 MPa. Hardness reaches 81.17 Shore D at 0.6 gm MWCNTs. FE-SEM analysis shows good interfacial bonding. The findings offer precise insights into optimizing epoxy/MWCNT nanocomposites under varied UV exposure durations.
