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

Grossiord N., Meuldijk J., Loos J., van der Schoot P., van Laake L.C., Regev O., Hart J., van der Schoot P., van Laake L.C., Miltner H.E., van der Schoot P., van Laake L.C., Koning C.E., Technical University of Eindhoven, NL

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 [...]

Conductive Carbon-Nanotube/Polymer Composites: Spectroscopic Monitoring of the Exfoliation Process in Water and the Crucial Role of Wetting

Grossiord N., Loos J., Meuldijk J., Regev O., Miltner H.E., Van Mele B., Koning C.E., Eindhoven University of Technology, NL

For the preparation of conductive polystyrene/SWNT nanocomposites, a recently developed, versatile, latex-based technology is applied. A low molar mass PS fraction, probably acting as a wetting agent for the SWNTs, seems to be required for [...]
