Abstract
In the present work, mechanical properties of the carbonnano-fibereinforced plastic were investigated. Two kinds of carbonnano-fibers are employed for the filler of the composites, which are vapor grown carbon fiber (VGCF) and cups-stacked type carbon nanofiber (CS). For the matrix of the composites, two kinds of thermoplastic resins are used which are Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) having different tensile strength. For the 5 wt % of VGCF in ABS resins, the tensile strength of the wire specimen of 0.5 mm in diameter by the extrusion molding shows doubled compared with that of the sheet specimen of 0.5 mm in thickness.
