Carbon nanotube (CNT) has been synthesized using camphor oil as a starting material via two-stage catalytic chemical vapor deposition. The as-synthesized CNT was then incorporated into acrylate matrix by suspension polymerization method, using various loading of CNT (as a filler) varied from 0.2 to 1.0 g with 0.2 g weight interval in the nanocomposite thin film. The acrylate/CNT nanocomposite thin film was characterized using micro-Raman, ultraviolet-visible and impedance spectrometer. As confirmed, the various loading of CNT had a significant impact on structural, optical and impedance characteristics. The paper contributes the recent achievements in material progress of CNT/polymer nanocomposite.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
