Epoxy resin dispersed with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNT) was prepared and was subjected to the experimental evaluation of helium gas diffusivity and thermal conductivity. The weight content of CNT was adjusted to be from 0 to 15 %. The dispersion of CNT contributed to the decrease in gas diffusivity and to the increase in the thermal conductivity of the epoxy resin. In the case of gas diffusion, the CNT apparently acted as the blocking medium in gas diffusion and the results showed good agreement with the prediction based on the inclusion model assuming the null diffusivity of the CNT. The experimental observation of the effect of CNT dispersion on thermal conductivity was rather unsatisfactory, indicating much lower conductivity compared to the analytical prediction employing the widely expected value of CNT. This may be attributed to the absence of percolation effect which may appear at higher CNT content levels.
