Cryogenic mechanical properties are important parameters for epoxy resins used in cryogenic engineering areas. In this study, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were employed to reinforce diglycidyl ether of bisphenol F (DGBEF)/diethyl toluene diamine (DETD) epoxy system modified by poly(ethersulfone) (PES) for enhancing the cryogenic mechanical properties. The epoxy system was properly modified by PES in our previous work and the optimized formulation of the epoxy system was reinforced by MWCNTs in the present work. The results show that the tensile strength and Young's modulus at 77 K were enhanced by 57.9% and 10.1%, respectively. The reported decrease in the previous work of the Young's modulus of the modified epoxy system due to the introduction of flexible PES is offset by the increase of the modulus due to the introduction of MWCNTs. Meanwhile, the fracture toughness (K-IC) at 77 K was improved by about 13.5% compared to that of the PES modified epoxy matrix when the 0.5 wt.% MWCNT content was introduced. These interesting results imply that the simultaneous usage of PES and MWCNTs in a brittle epoxy resin is a promising approach for efficiently modifying and reinforcing epoxy resins for cryogenic engineering applications.
