Journal ArticleDOI
Polymer Nanocomposites Containing Carbon Nanotubes
TL;DR: In this article, a review of polymer nanocomposites with single-wall or multi-wall carbon nanotubes is presented, and the current challenges to and opportunities for efficiently translating the extraordinary properties of carbon-nanotubes to polymer matrices are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanotube Networks in Polymer Nanocomposites: Rheology and Electrical Conductivity
TL;DR: In this article, single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanocomposites were prepared via coagulation method providing uniform dispersion of the nanotubes in the polymer matrix.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aligned single-wall carbon nanotubes in composites by melt processing methods
Reto Haggenmueller,Hendrikus Hubertus Petrus Gommans,Andrew G. Rinzler,John E. Fischer,Karen I. Winey +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, a combination of solvent casting and melt mixing was used to disperse carbon nanotubes in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) composite films showed higher conductivity along the flow direction than perpendicular to it.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanoparticle networks reduce the flammability of polymer nanocomposites.

TL;DR: It is shown that carbon nanotubes can surpass nanoclays as effective flame-retardant additives if they form a jammed network structure in the polymer matrix, such that the material as a whole behaves rheologically like a gel.
