Graphene induced microstructural changes of PLA/MWCNT biodegradable nanocomposites: rheological, morphological, thermal and electrical properties

Abstract

Investigation on the enhancement of the electrical, thermal and mechanical properties of PLA nanocomposites upon addition of functionalized CNTs and GnPs as single fillers and in the form of hybrid fillers.

Polylactide/organoclay nanocomposites: The effect of organoclay types on the structure development and the kinetic of cold crystallization

“…This decrease can be connected to changes in the microstructure induced by added nano‐fillers. Similar observation has been reported in the case of other nano‐fillers . PLA/30B(4) and PLA/20A(4) nanocomposite samples show a linear region up to about 10% and 1% strain, respectively.…”

Morphology, structure, and segmental dynamics in polyazomethine/hybrid carbon nanofillers composites

“…Intensive investigations of the polymer/GNPs:CNTs nanocomposites have recently been carried out. As polymer matrices, polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene/polypropylene mixture, polystyrene, polyvinyl alcohol, polyurethane, polyimide, polylactic acid, epoxy resins,vinyl ester resin, synthetic rubbers, acrylonitrile‐butadiene‐styrene‐copolymer, and block‐copolymers were used. The general idea of using hybrid GNP:CNTs nanofillers was to employ CNTs as spacers between the graphene sheets which not only increases the interlayer spacing, but also bridges the defects for electron transfer.…”

“…The general idea of using hybrid GNP:CNTs nanofillers was to employ CNTs as spacers between the graphene sheets which not only increases the interlayer spacing, but also bridges the defects for electron transfer. The advantages of the hybrid nanofillers for polymer nanocomposites were exhibited as enhanced nanoparticles dispersion in the polymer matrix their strong interfacial interaction with polymer chains and π‐π stacking interaction between hybrid nanofillers which results in formation of 3D conductive network . Essentially, polymer composites with hybrid nanofillers were reported to be effective materials for electromagnetic interference shielding .…”

Estimation of the tensile modulus of polymer carbon nanotube nanocomposites containing filler networks and interphase regions by development of the Kolarik model

“…A large amount of effort has been deployed to develop highperformance polymer nanocomposites for the benet of nanotechnology, including the combination of nano-reinforcements with polymer matrices. [1][2][3][4][5] Widespread research on polymer nanocomposites has been conducted to suggest novel materials for various applications. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted much attention as innovative nanollers for polymer nanocomposites since their discovery in 1991.…”
