Functionalization of carbon nanotubes for fabrication of CNT/epoxy nanocomposites (2016, methodology): “After that, many polymer resins have been used as a matrix for carbon nanotube nanocomposites, such as CNT/Polypropylene [8], CNT/Polycarbonate [9], CNT/Poly(vinyl alcohol) [10], CNT/Nylon 6 [11], CNT/Epoxy [12].”
Microstructure and Properties of Polypropylene/Carbon Nanotube Nanocomposites (2010, background): “Thus, the incorporation into PP matrix will enhance its mechanical properties [20,21].”
Interfacial fracture energy measurements for multi-walled carbon nanotubes pulled from a polymer matrix (2004, methodology): “As better dispersions of nanotubes have been produced within the composites, such as through shear melt processing [14,15] or via chemical modification of the nanotube surface to improve dispersion [16], the mechanical properties of nanotubebased composites have improved dramatically.”
A comparative study of melt spun polyamide-12 fibres reinforced with carbon nanotubes and nanofibres (2004, background): “In any case, the initial stiffening effect of small additions of single-walled nanotubes to polypropylene fibres dwarfs the impact of CNFs but seems to saturate at loading fractions as low as 1–2 wt% [10].”
Small but strong: A review of the mechanical properties of carbon nanotube–polymer composites (2006, methodology): “27 mm die [101,102].”
