Efficient Solvent-Free Microwave Irradiation Synthesis of Highly Conductive Polypropylene Nanocomposites with Lowly Loaded Carbon Nanotubes

Abstract: It was well established that microwave radiation was utilized initially to enhance the electrical conductivity of polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) by introducing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) without using any solvent. High electrical conductivity was obtained in polypropylene (PP) nanocomposites with low CNTs loading levels. Under an inert gas protection, the CNTs were heated through the transformation of electromagnetic energy into mechanical vibrations. The surface of PP was easily molten by the heat generated by CN… Show more

“…Polymer materials have been used widely in many fields, including energy storage and conversion, 1‐6 electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, 7 thermal management, 8,9 sensors, 10,11 cryogenic temperature, 12 carbon dioxide adsorption, 13 solar cell, 14 energy savings, 15 micro/nano‐manufacturing technology, 16 flame retardants, 17 injection molding, 18 coating, 16,19 biomedicine, 20,21 flexible electronics, 21 aerospace, 22 automotive, 22 and defense industries 22 and so forth, due to their lightweight, low cost, low density, easy processing and flexible. However, it is common fact for polymer materials that those composites are extremely easy to be damaged due to the internal or external factors of polymer materials in the process of actual working 23‐27 .…”

“…Nanostructured material can be prepared through chemical co-precipitation method and this method has some distinct features such as high yield, good purity, easily reproducible and low cost [24][25][26][27][28]. In addition, the prepared material may be called as nanocomposites and it have some advantages such as high surface to volume ratio, enhanced optical behaviour, better mechanical strength and electrical conductivity [29][30][31][32].…”
