Abstract
The catalytic effect of carbon nanotubes on epoxy polymer curing has been studied using the fractal method. The fractal dimension of epoxy microgels has been shown to be reduced by the interaction with the surface of carbon nanotubes. This effect is the only factor that contributes to the acceleration of epoxy crosslinking.
