Structure Formation Synergetics and Properties of Polypropylene/Carbon Nanotube Nanocomposites
It has been shown that aggregation (tangled coils formation) of carbon nanotubes begins at their very small contents. This factor strongly reduces reinforcement degree of polymer/carbon nanotube nanocomposites. Estimation of the main parameters that influenced elasticity modulus of the mentioned nanocomposites was fulfilled. Theoretical calculations showed high potential of nanocomposites filled with nanotubes.
