Abstract EN
Multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/polyethylene terephthalate (PET) composites were prepared by three processing methods: direct extrusion (DE), melt compounding followed by extrusion (MCE), and dispersion of the MWCNTs in a solvent by sonication followed by extrusion (SSE).
The mechanical properties of the MWCNT/PET composites processed by MCE increased with 0.1 wt% MWCNTs with respect to the neat PET.
The electrical percolation threshold of MWCNT/PET composites processed by DE and MCE was ~1 wt% and the conductivity was higher for composites processed by MCE.
Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy showed that mixing the MWCNTs by melt compounding before extruding yields better dispersion of the MWCNTs within the PET matrix.
The processing method assisted by a solvent resulted in matrix plasticization.
