In order to explore the role of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on the fracture behavior of epoxy-based nanocomposites, fracture tests were conducted under the combined out-of-plane shear and tensile loading. Epoxy resin LY-5052 together with MWCNT contents of 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 wt% were used to produce nanocomposite specimens. The results showed that increasing the contribution of out-of-plane shear from pure mode I towards pure mode III enhanced fracture toughness for both pure epoxy and nanocomposites. Additionally, it was found that in both loading conditions of pure mode III and mixed mode increasing MWCNT content up to 1.0 wt% enhanced fracture toughness with an ascending trend. The mechanisms involved in the fracture behavior of polymer-based nanocomposites were also studied in detail using the photographs taken from the fracture surfaces by scanning electron microscopy.
