Abstract:The paper investigates the possibility of fabricating a carbon nanotubes (CNT)-modified nanocomposite based on pyrolyzed polyacrylonitrile (PPAN). The layered structure of PPAN ensures the attachment of nanotubes (NT) to the polymer matrix, forming enhanced PPAN/CNT nanocomposites. We synthesized a PPAN/CNT polymer nanocomposite and investigated its mechanical, conductive, and electronic properties. Using the quantum chemical method density functional theory (DFT), we studied an interaction mechanism between P… Show more
