- Abstract
The article presents the results of research into the material properties of polycarbonate (PC)/multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) composites. These were produced by using ultrasonic mixing to combine the PC and carbolic acids containing MWCNT in tetrahydrofuran (THF) to create a master batch, then melt processing the master batch with PC pellet. When compared to pure PC matrix, the PC/MWCNT nanocomposites were found to exhibit significantly enhanced storage modulus and conductivity. Dynamic mechanical and thermogravimetric analysis were among the tools used to ascertain the physical properties of the nanocomposites.
