Thermal and Electrical Properties of Polyamide/Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes Nanocomposites

, , , , , , , , , ,
In the present work we investigate the influence of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on the thermal and electrical properties of a polyamide 6 (PA6) matrix by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dielectric relaxation spectroscopy (DRS) [...]

A latex-based concept for obtaining carbon nanotube-polymer nanocomposites

, , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
By using a latex-based technology, it is possible to efficiently disperse both single and multi wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs and MWNTs) within most of the polymers that are produced by emulsion polymerization, or that can [...]

Morphology Studies And Potential Applications Of Poly(N,N-Dimethylacrylamide)-l-Polyisobutylene Amphiphilic Polymer Conetworks

, , , , , ,
Poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide)-l-polyisobutylene (PDMAAm-l-PIB) amphiphilic conetworks were synthesized from two incompatible polymers, i.e. hydrophilic PDMAAm and strongly hydrophobic PIB in a wide range of composition (38-80 m/m % PIB). DSC and SAXS measurement results show that a [...]

Novel Supramolecules Based on Architecturally Variant alpha-Cyclodextrin Polyrotaxanes and Nanorod-Like alpha-Cyclodextrin Self-Assembly

, , , ,
Self-assembly (SA-ICs) of architecturally variant alpha-cyclodextrin (alpha-CD) inclusion complexes (ICs) formed by host-guest reaction with four polymeric guest having different molecular architectures (star-shaped, hyperbranched, diblocked, and linear polymer) and nanorod-like self-assembly (SA-CD) of alpha-CD could [...]

Synthesis and Characterization of Recycled Polycarbonate/Organo-montmorillonite Nanocomposites

, , , ,
This study aims to synthesize and investigate the electrical, chemical and thermo-mechanical properties of recycled polycarbonate/organo-montmorillonite nanocomposites. Polycarbonate from post-consumer wastes was recovered by mechanical abrasion process and chemical stripping. Formulations of 1-10% organo-montmorillonite (o-mmt) [...]

Thermal and Electrical Characterization of Polypropylene/Carbon Nanotubes Nanocomposites

, , , , , , , , , , , , ,
The influence of multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) content on electrical/dielectric and thermal properties of CNTs-reinforced polypropylene (PP) nanocomposites is studied. We focus on the investigation of electrical and dielectric properties in relation to percolation: ac [...]
