Carbon nanotube (CNT)/thermoplastic composites have many potential
applications. However, processing CNT/thermoplastic composites has
been extremely challenging due to the nano scale of CNT and their
inherently strong affinity to themselves. Two major issues in
processing CNT/thermoplastic composites for enhanced mechanical
properties are achieving uniform dispersion and producing alignment
of the nanotubes in the polymer matrix. This book presents an
approach that used a combination of surfactant- aided mixing,
extrusion, and various drawing processing techniques to
successfully obtain significant improvement of nanotube dispersion
and alignment in a semi-crystalline polymer matrix. The processing
techniques used were relatively simple without the requirement of
sophisticated equipment, making low-cost and easy commercial
processing a possibility. This book also provided a practical
method for dispersion and alignment measurement that correlated
with the material strength.
