“…Various polymer matrices are used for making CNT‐based nanocomposites, such as thermoplastics,15, 16 thermosetting resins,17, 18 polymer blends,19 liquid crystalline polymers,20, 21 water‐soluble polymers,22 conjugated polymers,23 and so on. In this study, we have used polypropylene (PP) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to prepare high‐performance polymer nanocomposites through a melt mixing process.…”

The effects of different surfactants on the properties of multiwalled carbon nanotubes/polypropylene (MWCNT/PP) nanocomposites prepared by a melt mixing method have been investigated. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (NaDDBS) were used as a means of noncovalent functionalization of MWCNTs to help them to be dispersed uniformly into the PP matrix. The effects of these surfactant-treated MWCNTs on morphological, rheological, thermal, crystalline, mechanical, and electrical properties of MWCNT/PP composites were studied using field emission scanning electron microscopy, optical microscopy, rheometry, tensile, and electrical conductivity tests. It was found that the surfactant-treatment and micromixing resulted in a great improvement in the state of dispersion of MWCNTs in the polymer matrix, leading to a significant enhancement of Young's modulus and tensile strength of the composites. For example, with the addition of only 2 wt % of SDS-treated and NaDDBStreated MWCNTs, the Young's modulus of PP increased by 61.1 and 86.1%, respectively.

“…Over the past decade, much research has been conducted to improve the properties of various polymers through the addition of CNTs. Both single‐walled (SWNT) and multi‐walled (MWNT) carbon nanotubes have been added to thermoplastic [poly(vinyl alcohol);1, 2 polystyrene;3–6 poly(propylene);7–9 poly(methyl or methyl‐ethyl methacrylate);10–15 polyamide;16 poly(ethylene oxide);17, 18 poly(ethylene terephthalate);19 and thermosetting (epoxy,20–29 polyimide,30–36 polyurethane,37, 38 phenolic,39 and cyanate ester40)] polymeric matrices. The MWNTs have generally provided greater property enhancements than SWNTs due to better dispersion within the polymeric matrices 2, 41.…”

The properties of an oligomeric cyanate ester polymer were modified by the addition of 0.01–3 wt.‐% multi‐walled carbon nanotube (MWNT) containing particles. The dynamic mechanical behavior and thermal properties of the cyanate ester/MWNT nanocomposites were evaluated. The storage modulus, G′, of the nanocomposite with 1 wt.‐% MWNT particles was nearly 60 and 600% higher than the neat polymer at 100 and 200 °C, respectively. The glass transition temperature of the nanocomposite was also raised by 30 °C and its thermal stability in air and nitrogen was increased by 58 and 25 °C, respectively. The property improvements are attributed to reinforcement of the cyanate ester as a result of good nanotube dispersion and effective polymer‐MWNT interaction.magnified image
