Self-Assembly of Aligned Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes in Polypropylene-Coated Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes Composites

Abstract:

Polypropylene (PP)-coated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) composite with MWNTs exceptional alignment dispersed and improved mechanical properties was prepared with maleic anhydride (MAH) as a compatibilizer and poly (butyl methacrylate) (PBMA) as a binding. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results showed that MWNTs within composite were aligned without aggregation and the oriented MWNTs were connected by matrix. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) results demonstrated that the nanotubes were densely coated with a PP layer. Infrared spectroscopy (IR) results revealed that there was covalently linkage of MWNTs with PP via MAH. The interactions between MWNTs-PP and MWNTs-PBMA induced orientation of MWNTs. The improved mechanical properties of PP - coated MWNTs composite was also shown.
