Carbon Nanotubes Dispersion in Polymers by Two-Factor Mechanical Method

Abstract

The article reports the results on the development of highly optimized two-factor mechanical method of dispersion of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in polymer matrixes with the aim of preparing of nanocomposites. The investigation of the MWCNTs and nanocomposites was carried out by using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. The effectiveness of the developed method is demonstrated by comparing the electrical conductivity of MWCNT/polymer nanocomposites prepared on the basis of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and the epoxy resin, using two methods-the known chemical and the proposed one-two-factor mechanical.

Unusual nanoscale piezoelectricity-driven high current generation from a self S-defect-neutralised few-layered MoS2 nanosheet-based flexible nanogenerator

“…It can be clearly seen that the wellknown chain and tubular structured carbon nanotubes are homogenously dispersed in the PDMS matrix. 42,43 To investigate the high output performance of the piezoelectric nanogenerator, the piezoelectric charge coefficient of the few-layered MoS 2 nanosheets was investigated using piezoelectric force microscopy (PFM) at the nanoscale.

Fabrication and characterization of MWCNT/natural Azerbaijani bentonite electroconductive ceramic composites

“…The dried BCs were mechanically ground to a powdery state (Figure 3). MWCNT/bentonite ceramic composites were prepared via the dispersion of MWCNTs in the bentonite matrices by the two-factor mechanical method, 27 developed earlier by our group (Figure 4). MWCNTs were incorporated into bentonite ceramics in different 1, 2, 4 and 8 wt% concentrations.…”
