摘要
Boron nitride nanotube (BNNT)/polystyrene (PS) composite films were fabricated for the first time using high-quality BNNTs synthesized via a chemical-vapor-deposition method. The composite films exhibited good transparency. Tensile tests indicated that the elastic modulus of the films was increased by similar to 21% when a similar to 1 wt% soluble BNNT fraction was in use. Dispersion of BNNTs in PS and interfacial interactions between them were investigated using transmission electron microscopy. The film thermal properties, such as stability to oxidation and glass transition temperatures were measured. The experimental results and simple theoretical estimates indicate that BNNTs is a promising additive material for polymeric composites.
