The Dispersion of MWCNTS in Acetone Solution of SAN

Article Preview

Abstract:

MWCNTs were dispersed in acetone solution of styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer (SAN). Four factors which had effect on the average particle size, including the ratio of MWCNTs to SAN, the mass percent of MWCNTs, the ultrasonic power and the ultrasonic time, were studied. The optimal dispersion conditions of MWCNTs in acetone solution of SAN were the ratio of MWCNTs to SAN 1:3, the mass percent of MWCNTs 0.25%, the ultrasonic power 100%, and the ultrasonic time 30 min.
