摘要
An experimental program was designed to synthesize and characterize carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and CNTs reinforced polymeric matrix nanocomposites. PMMA, and PS, matrices were adopted for this investigation using different percents of CNTs loading of 0, 1, 3, and 5 and wt%. Morphological characterization was carried out using SEM, TEM, and TEDM microscopy. Mechanical properties were also measured to evaluate the enhancement effect of the CNTs loading percent. The results revealed a remarkable enhancement of the strength and ductility of the matrix material at 3 wt% of reasonably dispersed CNTs.
