“…Therefore, damage patterns and modes need to be thoroughly identified using appropriate characterization techniques for internal damage assessment. High‐density polyethylene (HDPE) is a linear thermoplastic polymer widely used, presenting balanced mechanical properties, chemical resistance, impermeability to water, low cost and easy processing advantages …”

Mechanical properties of carbon fiber (CF) and carbon nanotube (CNT)-filled thermoplastic high-density polyethylene (HDPE) composites were studied with particular interest on the effects of filler content and fiber surface treatment by coupling agent. Surface-treated CF-filled HDPE composites increased their tensile strength and impact strength, which is further increased with the addition of CNT. SEM showed that CNT-coating-treated CF-HDPE composites show better dispersion of the filler into the matrix, which results in better interfacial adhesion between the filler and the matrix.

“…These structural distortions of CNTs could substantially affect local electrical structure and act as a strong scatter to reduce the intrinsic conductance. On the other hand, the reduction of intertube distance at relaxed CNT junctions will result in a large overlap of wave functions, which favor electron tunneling and increase M A N U S C R I P T A C C E P T E D ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 4 the contact conductance. Study shows that the neglect of structural distortion of CNTs will result in gross overestimation of electrical conductivity of CNT percolation networks [37].…”

“…Although CNT is considered to be rigid and strong 1D cylindrical tubes but their reinforcement efficiency depends on the preparation method of composites, type of polymer, and type of functional moieties present on the surface of CNT to interact with the polymer chains. Recently, Puch and Hopmann reported 25% increase in the tensile modulus of PA6/CNT up to 3.5 vol% while the tensile strength did not change in this range. While, Chen et al mentioned 87% and 69% increase of tensile modulus and tensile strength, respectively, up to 2 wt% for PA6/CNT composites due to the functionalization of amine groups on to CNT facilitating the interaction among filler and polymer chains.…”

Experimental and theoretical correlation of reinforcement trends in acrylonitrile butadiene styrene/single‐walled carbon nanotubes hybrid composites

The reinforcement tendency of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene/single‐walled carbon nanotubes hybrid composites is investigated using universal tensile testing machine. SWCNT are exfoliated in the ABS matrix at all concentrations, however, selective localization of SWCNT occurred in the SAN phase rather than the PB phase of ABS. Although, glass transition temperature of ABS remained intact by the incorporation of SWCNTs, but mechanical properties are enhanced significantly. The increase in tensile strength and Young's modulus of ABS/SWCNT hybrid composites is up to 48% and 103%, respectively, at considerable loss of strain at break inferring the restriction in the movement of the ABS chains by anchoring them in the vicinity of SWCNT. Modified rule of mixture (MRoM) model is employed to predict the rate of increase in the Young's modulus (dY/dVf) of ABS/SWCNT hybrid composites. The predicted trends are correlated well with the experimental values of dY/dVf in the lower volume fraction of SWCNT in ABS demonstrating the effective load transfer from the polymer matrix to the nanotubes.
