Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Hybrid MWCNT-Muscovite Composite Filler

Article Preview

Abstract:

A novel hybrid carbon nanotube-muscovite (CNT-muscovite) compound was synthesized via chemical vapour deposition (CVD) by directly grown CNT on muscovite particles. The synthesis of CNT using nickel catalyst and muscovite as a substrate material is rarely found. Morphological analysis using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) showed that the CNT was successfully grown on muscovite flaky particles. The CNT-muscovite compound can be potentially used as a new class of filler in polymer composites technology.
