Surface Morphology of Acrylate/Carbon Nanotubes Nanocomposites on Mild Steel

Abstract:

Acrylate/carbon nanotubes nanocomposites were prepared using sol-gel method. Carbon nanotubes with different percentage (0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8% and 1.0%) incorporated into acrylate and deposited on mild steel. Surface of acrylate/carbon nanotubes composites were characterized using by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). Carbon nanotubes uniformly distributed in acrylate observed by FESEM shows increase in percentage of carbon nanotubes blend with acrylate the peak distribution become decreases.
