Morphology and thermal properties of novel poly(phenylene sulfide) hybrid nanocomposites based on single-walled carbon nanotubes and inorganic fullerene-like WS₂nanoparticles

Review of Recent Developments on Using an Off-Lattice Monte Carlo Approach to Predict the Effective Thermal Conductivity of Composite Systems with Complex Structures

“…The R bd is found to greatly limit the K eff of SWNT/WS 2 /PEEK composites [10]. The R bd at the SWNT-PEEK ($R_{\text{SWNT-PEEK}}$) and WS 2 -PEEK ($R_{{\text{WS}}_2-\text{PEEK}}$) interfaces was varied to investigate the effects on the K eff of SWNT/WS 2 /PEEK composites, and the results are presented in Figure 3.…”

“…In addition to the above multiphase composites, other diverse types of multiphase composites have been developed for their specific applications, such as CNT/inorganic nanoparticle/polymer [9,10], CNT/graphene/polymer [11,12,13], graphene/inorganic nanoparticle/polymer [14,15], and polymer blends [16,17]. Such multiphase composites can combine the merits of fillers and matrix to achieve advanced properties for diverse applications.…”

Preparation and characterization of polyphenylene sulfide nanocomposites

“…Naffakh et al (2012) dispersed acid-functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in PEI, an amorphous high-performance thermoplastic that possesses excellent thermo-oxidative stability and mechanical properties even at elevated temperatures due to its high T g . Acting as polymeric surfactants, these reduce the interfacial tension, thus promoting the interfacial adhesion between the matrix and the dispersed phase.…”

“…(Figure 7.3b). Specimens for the different characterizations were prepared either in an injection molding machine with a similar barrel profile (Jiang et al, 2012) or in a hot-press system using two cooling/heating plates (Naffakh et al, 2012;Gonzalez-Dominguez et al, 2012). In all the aforementioned cases, the resulting dried dispersions were then melt blended in a Haake extruder at temperatures in the range of 290-320 °C with a rotor speed of 150 rpm (Figure 7.3c).…”

Processing, structure, and properties of multiwalled carbon nanotube–poly(phenylene sulfide) composite fibers

“…In particular, carbon nanofibers (CNFs), single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), which are composed of graphitic planes, have been differentiated from other nanofillers by their high aspect ratios, nanometer‐sized diameters, substantial surface areas, and outstanding mechanical and electrical properties . Those superior characters endow them with potential for numerous applications, especially as reinforcing agents in polymer matrixes . For instance, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can form a matrix network even with a small addition because of their high aspect ratio and good dispersion.…”
