Multi-walled carbon nanotube filled polypropylene nanocomposites based on masterbatch route: Improvement of dispersion and mechanical properties through PP-g-MA addition (2008, background): “In general, the nanoscale dispersion of MWNTs in polypropylene matrix is achieved by strong hydrogen bonding between hydroxyl groups of the MWNTs and maleic anhydride groups of PP-gMA, depending upon the chemical similarity of polypropylene matrix and the grafted polypropylene [22].”
Development and characterization of PEEK/carbon nanotube composites (2009, background): “These observations are intriguing since nanotubes usually act as nucleating agents [36,37] that increase the crystallization rate, because the nucleation starts simultaneously in multiple centers; therefore one expects a similar if not higher Tc for the composites.”
Creep and recovery of polypropylene/carbon nanotube composites (2011, background): “…combination of excellent mechanical characteristics, extremely large interfacial contact area, high aspect ratio, and low mass density, CNT are considered as the ideal reinforcement fillers for the composite materials (Eitan, 2005; Esawi and Farag, 2007; Lee et al., 2008; Pantano et al., 2008).”
Microstructure and Properties of Polypropylene/Carbon Nanotube Nanocomposites (2010, background): “Dynamic mechanical properties of PP/CNTs nanocomposites were found that depends also from the type of the used CNTs [38].”
