“…Hence the efficient load transfer is not possible across the CNT-matrix interface. It can be attained by the modification in the surface properties of the CNTs by either chemical or physical functionalization [4,16] A. Chemical functionalization It is based on the covalent linkage of functional entities and the carbon of CNTs.…”

“…Single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) which are the fundamental cylindrical structure and multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) which are made of coaxial cylinders, having interlayer spacing close to that of the interlayer distance in graphite (0.34 nm). These cylindrical structures are only few nanometres in diameter, but length wise it can be tens of microns long with most end capped with half of a fullerene molecule [4]. The main objective of the present study is to understand the techniques of CNT synthesis and its dispersion techniques in the paint matrix to obtain conductive paints.…”

Solar paints or conducting paints have replaced the solar panels as it requires high installation and maintenance costs. Uses of cadmium and other nano particles as fillers to efficiently conduct solar energy have been extensively reported in the literature. However, these nanoparticles have adverse effect on the environment. In the present work, literature on CNT synthesis and its use as fillers to induce conductive properties on paints is discussed in details.

“…Polymer-based nanocomposites, which are formed by adding a small amount of nanoparticles to a polymer matrix, have generated great interest in science and engineering because they exhibit superior mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties through controlled assembly of inclusions [1][2][3][4]. Polymers are multifunctional materials with superior properties, including reasonable strength, good processability, and high elasticity.…”

Linear assemblies of carbon nanotubes (LACNTs) were fabricated and controlled in polysiloxane-based nanocomposite films and the effects of the LACNTs on the thermal and electrical properties of the films were investigated. CNTs were dispersed by mechanical stirring and sonication in a prepolymer of polysiloxane. Homogeneous suspensions were cast on polyamide spacers and oriented by linear-assembly by applying DC and switching DC electric fields before the mixture became cross-linked. Densely packed LACNTs that fixed the composite film surfaces were fabricated with various structures and thicknesses that depended on the DC and switching DC conditions. Polymer nanocomposites with different LACNT densities exhibited enhanced thermal and electrical conductivities and high optical transmittances. They are considered promising structural materials for electronic sectors in automotive and aerospace applications.

This review covers the fundamental aspects of polymer stabilization with emphasis on the underlying mechanisms of oxidative degradation of polymers, and the many factors that affect their stability and durability. The basic mechanisms of antioxidant action in polymer stabilization and the effects of chemical and physical factors that impact performance are presented. The different classes of antioxidants are discussed with specific examples. Recent progress made in several areas of stabilization targeted at improving the stability and durability of polymers is highlighted, for example, graftable and macromolecular antioxidants, bio‐based (natural/biological) antioxidants, polymer nanocomposites, photovoltaics, fuel cells and orthopedic implants.
