“…52 It has been shown that conductivity and mechanical strength of the nanobres is enhanced through heat treatment at 1500 C. 53 VGCNF composite materials have been produced using poly(caprolactone), poly(urethane), poly(ethylene) and epoxy resins. [54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61] For example, recently it was demonstrated that shape memory properties of VGCNF-epoxy composite materials were enhanced by chemical functionalisation of VGCNFs. 54 Other potential applications include the use of VGCNFs as constituents in electromagnetic interference shielding materials as discussed in a recent review article.…”

The preparation and characterization of carbon nanofibre-gellan gum composite materials is presented. Electron microscopy analysis reveals that nanofibres are affected by sonolysis, i.e. fibre length reduces, while filling occurs. Spectroscopic analysis suggests that the nanofibres are modified during the preparation of the dispersions. It is shown that despite these effects, composite materials prepared using a short period of sonolysis (4 min) exhibit robust conductivity, strain at failure and Young's modulus values of 35 ± 2 S cm−1, 20 ± 1% and 1.3 ± 0.3 MPa, respectively.
