Dispersion and Degradation of Polycarbonate/MWCNT Nanocomposites with Melt Extrusion

Abstract:

Polycarbonate/Multi-wall Carbon Nanotubes (PC/MWCNT) nanocomposites with 0.55% and 0.77% of MWCNT were prepared by twin-screw compounding extruder. The morphology and dispersion were characterized by SEM. The Raman analysis confirmed the good interaction between carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and Polycarbonate (PC). The TGA result showed that the PC/MWCNT nanocomposites degraded in two time extrusion (TTE) as compared to one time extrusion (OTE), which was attributed to the temperature effect. Inspite of degradation, TTE nanocomposite showed good dispersion of MWCNT in PC.
