“…Their superior thermal, mechanical, electrical and electronic properties [2][3][4] have been the main source of this attraction. Owing to their fascinating properties CNTs are potential candidates for numerous applications in diverse fields and being used in nano-devices; such as sensors, actuators, electrodes for fuel cell and Li ion batteries [5,6], carbon nanotube field effect transistors (CNTFETs) and interconnects [7,8].…”

The use of nanometric-scale sized fillers for the preparation of thermoplastic polymer composites is of topical interest in the academia, because of the significant improvements achievable in terms of technological properties, such as the elastic modulus, the tensile strength, the barrier properties, the flexural modulus [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. These enhancements are promising and attracting also the interest from industrial world, in sight of several applications which could benefit from them. On the other hand, it is known [3] that polymer based nanocomposites have been struggling to conquer mainstream volume market shares, and this can be attributed to some weaknesses. One of these is represented by their environmental stability, especially when outdoor applications (i.e. furnishing, building, packaging, automotive) are concerned. It is known from the literature that polymer/silicate nanocomposites can show significant effects due to photo-oxidation (in particular, higher photo-oxidation rates and thus reduction of the mechanical prop- Abstract. Polymer nanocomposites are currently a topic of great interest. The increasing importance they are gaining also in the standpoint of industrial applications, is giving concerns regarding their environmental stability and, in general, their behaviour in outdoor applications, under direct solar irradiation. Papers available in the literature have highlighted the different influences of different nanosized fillers, in particular clay-based nanofillers; however, few data are available regarding other nanosized fillers. Furthermore, the research on polymer nanocomposites has clearly pointed out that the use of compatibilizers is required to improve the mechanical performance and the dispersion of polar fillers inside apolar polymer matrices, especially when complex mechanisms such as intercalation and exfoliation, typical of clay-filled nanocomposites, are involved. In this work, the photo-oxidation behaviour of polypropylene/clay and polypropylene/calcium carbonate nanocomposites containing different amounts of maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (PPgMA) and subjected to accelerated weathering, was investigated. The results showed significant differences between the two nanofillers and different degradation behaviours in presence of the compatibilizer. In particular, PPgMA modified the dispersion of the nanofillers but, on the other hand, higher amounts proved to lead to the formation of some heterogeneities. Furthermore, PPgMA proved to positively affect the photo-oxidation behaviour by decreasing the rate of formation of the degradation products.

“…Recently, due to the advantage mechanical, physical and electronic properties of CNTs [Salvetat-Delmotte and Rubio, 2002], these advanced materials are considered to be excellent candidates for the reinforcement of polymer composites [Esawi and Farag, 2007;Fiedler et al 2006]. In actual structural applications, CNTRC, as a type of advanced material, have a wide variety of applications in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS).…”

This research deals with the buckling analysis of nanocomposite polymeric temperature-dependent plates reinforced by single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). For the carbon-nanotube reinforced composite (CNTRC) plate, uniform distribution (UD) and three types of functionally graded (FG) distribution patterns of SWCNT reinforcements are assumed. The material properties of FG-CNTRC plate are graded in the thickness direction and estimated based on the rule of mixture. The CNTRC is located in a elastic medium which is simulated with temperature-dependent Pasternak medium. Based on orthotropic Mindlin plate theory, the governing equations are derived using Hamilton's principle and solved by Navier method. The influences of the volume fractions of carbon nanotubes, elastic medium, temperature and distribution type of CNTs are considered on the buckling of the plate. Results indicate that CNT distribution close to top and bottom are more efficient than those distributed nearby the mid-plane for increasing the stiffness of plates.
