The Dispersion of CNT and the Conductive Property of PA6/MWNTs Nanofiber Filaments by Electrospinning

Abstract:

Consecutive PA6/MWNTs nanofiber filaments were successfully fabricated by an improved electrospining method in this paper. The microstructure and the arrangement of MWNTs in the nanofibers both with the conductivities of the filaments in different MWNTs contents were studied. The results show that the orientation arrangement of the nanofiber and MWNTs in the fibers were both fine at different MWNTs contents .Besides, with the increase of the MWNTs contents, the diameters of the nanofiber increased, while the conductivity of the filaments increased and MWNTs became gathered in the fibers.
