Όνομα Συνεδρίου:1st WSEAS International Conference on NANOTECHNOLOGY (NANOTECHNOLOGY'09)
The influence of multi-walled carbon nabotubes(MWCNT) on electric/dielectric, thermal and
mechanical properties of CNT – reinforced polymer nanocomposites is studied. The nanocomposites under
study was polyamide-6 polymer matrix filled with MWCNTs (PA-6/MWCNT), and polypropylene polymer
matrix filled with MWCNTs (PP/MWCNT). The investigation is focused on electrical and dielectric properties
in relation to percolation : ac and dc conductivity above the percolation threshold pc and dielectric permittivity,
ε΄, below pc. To that aim, broadband dielectric relaxation spectroscopy (DRS) was used. In addition, the effect
of MWCNT on the thermal transitions and thermomechanical properties (storage modulus, loss tangent) of the
nanocomposites was examined by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMTA) measurements.
