Carbon nanotubes based high temperature vulcanized silicone rubber nanocomposite with excellent elasticity and electrical properties

Electrically conductive adhesives based on thermoplastic polyurethane filled with carbon nanotubes

“…The tensile-strain properties of other content composites were investigated and the change of R/R0 was recorded with strain as well. Similar to previous study [12][13][14] , two transitions for the R/R0 changes can be observed. The first transition occurs at a strain of about 20% (region I, in figure 3a).…”

Transport performance in novel elastomer nanocomposites: Mechanism, design and control

“…Meanwhile, the abundant -OH groups on the chitosan salt form hydrogen bonds with the SiR matrix. Consequently, the CNTs were uniformly dispersed in the nanocomposites, and strong interfacial adhesion between the CNTs and the silicone was established with the chitosan salt as a bridge that facilitated the formation of a continuous conducting CNT network in the nanocomposite [51,52]. Although the dispersion of the fillers can be improved with the addition of surfactants, these ordinary surfactants are insulating that may reduce conductivity.…”

Free-volume correlation with mechanical and dielectric properties of natural rubber/multi walled carbon nanotubes composites

“…This large dielectric constant is explained based on the minicapacitor principle [57,58]. The distribution of MWCNTs within the insulating rubber medium causes the formation of a large number of minicapacitors.…”
