Vapour Grown Carbon Fibre Reinforced Poly(Propylene) Filament

Article Preview

Abstract:

Polypropylene filament incorporating carbon nanofibre has been spun using conventional fibre processing route. Nanocomposite filament with very high dynamic modulus of 29 GPa and tenacity of 770 MPa could be obtained at 1% loading of nanofibres. The Nanocomposite filament exhibits higher thermal stability. Influence of carbon nanofibres on the morphology, mechanical and thermal properties of the nanocomposite filament have been studied.
