“…Existence of defects lowers the mechanical properties, especially in case of hard and brittle materials. 22 Maximum tensile modulus of 362.46 MPa is also obtained in PP/0.75 wt% MWCNTs loading. The improvement was about 127.99% in comparison with the virgin PP.…”

This article presents the effect of filler loading on compounding torques as well as mechanical properties of polypropylene/multiwalled carbon nanotube (PP/MWCNTs) nanocomposites. Samples were prepared via melt compounding method using a Haake internal mixer at rotor speed of 80 r/min. The torque values in a 10-min compounding period for the incorporation of MWCNTs fillers into PP matrix were analyzed and thoroughly evaluated. The data was further confirmed by morphological analysis via transmission electron microscopy. The efficiency of direct melt-compounding method using internal mixer was evident from the homogeneity of MWCNTs dispersed within the PP matrix observed in produced nanocomposites at filler loading up to 0.75 wt%. MWCNTs showed significant compatibility with PP matrix and proved the needlessness of chemical pretreatment and complicated compounding process to produce PP/ MWCNTs nanocomposites. The mechanical properties and morphological characteristics were in good correlation with the processing behavior of the nanocomposites.

“…One important aspect was the tuned reduction of the length of the nanotubes within the polymer film by selective electrochemical oxidation, which resulted in carboxylate end groups that were readily functionalized at the entrance to each nanotube. However, developing polymeric membranes enhanced by nanotubes requires a fundamental understanding of the interactions between nanotubes and polymers in hybrid matrices [95,96]. For example, polypropylene composites have been studied extensively; the effect of surfactants such as sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (NaDDBS) on the on morphological, rheological, thermal, crystalline, mechanical, and electrical properties of MWCNT/PP (polypropylene) nanocomposites has been systematically investigated [97].…”

Research on mixed matrix membranes in which nanoparticles are used to enhance the membrane's performance in terms of flux, separation, and fouling resistance has boomed in the last years. This review probes on the specific features and benefits of one specific type of nanoparticles with a well-defined cylindrical structure, known as nanotubes. Nanotube structures for potential use in membranes are reviewed. These comprise mainly single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), but also other structures and materials, which are less studied for membrane applications, can be used. Important issues related to polymer-nanotube interactions such as dispersion and alignment are outlined, and a categorization is made of the resultant membranes. Applications are reviewed in four different areas, that is, gas separation, water filtration, drug delivery, and fuel cells.

“…The carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are used in advanced polymeric matrix composites to further improve the properties. CNT/epoxy nanocomposites were previously fabricated and studied for creep behavior [3], thermal and mechanical properties [4], morphology [5], cure behavior [6], effect of interfacial chemistry on molecular mobility [7], damping capacity in a broad temperature range [8], doping of nano-particles (titania) for synergistic effects in the multiphase nanocomposites [9], electrical and thermal conduction mechanisms [10], influence of cup-stacked CNTs [11], and effect of silane functionalization on the properties of CNT/epoxy nanocomposites [12].…”
