Surface Modification of Carbon Nanotubes for High-Performance Polymer Composites

Recent advances and perspectives on starch nanocomposites for packaging applications

“…Generally, CNTs are used to improve mechanical and electrical properties of petro-based and bio-based polymer nanocomposites [73,74]. Single-walled CNTs (SWCNTs), double-walled CNTs (DWCNTs) and multi-walled CNTs (MWCNTs) are the main classes [75]. High agglomeration in polymer matrices and insolubility are major drawbacks of CNTs [72,73,75].…”

“…GOs have inherently impermeable to gases atoms [77]. Biocomposites reinforced with GOs can be used as UV-shielding packaging materials because of their high protection against the UV light [75][76][77]. For example, Li et al [78] stated that the transmittance against UV light of TPS was decreased gradually to be as close as 0% with increasing the GO content from 0 to 2 wt%.…”

Thermomechanical Coupling Damage and Analysis of Buckling Load of Laser Irradiated CFRP Cylinder Shell under Axial Load

“…As a result, the structure may be damaged to some extend if it is subjected to axial compression simultaneously. In this case, the thermodynamic parameters of materials are considered as temperature dependent [5][6][7]. Jianheng Zhao et al presented the temperature distribution of the cylindrical shell irradiated by an intense laser pulse using FEM simulation [8].…”

Morphology and electrical properties of injection-molded PP carbon-based nanocomposites

“…From these considerations, it is clear that the filler dispersion is a key point in determining the conductivity performances of the composite [9,10,11,12,13].…”
