What is An Investigation of Tensile and Thermal Properties of Epoxy Polymer Modified by Activated Carbon Particle about?

## Abstract In this work, the effects of adding activated carbon (AC) powder with epoxy resin were investigated experimentally. The particulate epoxy composites are manufactured in vacuum technique with different weight fraction ratios of AC (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40) % wt. The particle size was measured during this work by laser particle size analyzer with an average size of about (14.74μm). The interaction between epoxy material and AC powder was examined by using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analysis. Moreover, the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the pure epoxy and composite material were measured by Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC). The tensile strength behavior and interaction strength between the matrix material and powder were investigated by conducting tensile test and SEM analysis. The results of FTIR test reveal that there is no a new peak after reinforcing epoxy with AC powder, which proves there is a strong interaction between epoxy resin and AC powder. The DSC results show that the increases by adding AC to epoxy will increase Tg temperature. The findings of FTIR analysis were supported by SEM analysis, which shows a good intera
