Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of carbon nanotube type and functionalization on the electrical, thermal, mechanical and electromechanical properties of carbon nanotube/styrene–butadiene–styrene composites for large strain sensor applications
Pedro Costa,Jaime Silva,Alejandro Ansón-Casaos,M.T. Martínez,María José Abad,Júlio C. Viana,Senentxu Lanceros-Méndez +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the composites with different filler contents and filler functionalizations are studied by morphological, thermal, mechanical and electrical analyses, with the main goal of obtaining electro-mechanical composites suitable for large deformation sensor applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of fibre concentration on the α to β-phase transformation, degree of crystallinity and electrical properties of vapour grown carbon nanofibre/poly(vinylidene fluoride) composites
Pedro Costa,Jaime Silva,Vitor Sencadas,Carlos M. Costa,F. W. J. van Hattum,J. G. Rocha,Senentxu Lanceros-Méndez +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, VGCNF/PVDF composites prepared by solution casting were studied and it was shown that the incorporation of the carbon nanofibres/poly(vinilidene fluoride) matrix increases the degree of crystallinity of the polymer composites for concentrations lower than ∼1%, remaining stable for higher concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low percolation transitions in carbon nanotube networks dispersed in a polymer matrix: dielectric properties, simulations and experiments.
Ricardo Simoes,Ricardo Simoes,Jaime Silva,Richard A. Vaia,Vitor Sencadas,Pedro Costa,João Gomes,Senentxu Lanceros-Méndez +7 more
TL;DR: This work shows how the critical concentration is related to the formation of capacitor networks and that these networks give rise to high variations in the electrical properties of the composites.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-performance graphene-based carbon nanofiller/polymer composites for piezoresistive sensor applications
Pedro Costa,J. Nunes-Pereira,J. Nunes-Pereira,Juliana Oliveira,Jaime Silva,J. Agostinho Moreira,Sónia A. C. Carabineiro,Josephus Gerardus Buijnsters,Senentxu Lanceros-Méndez +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, composites with different carbonaceous nanofillers, prepared by solution casting, were studied their chemical, mechanical, electrical and electro-mechanical properties evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical, electrical and electro-mechanical properties of thermoplastic elastomer styrene–butadiene–styrene/multiwall carbon nanotubes composites
Pedro Costa,Jaime Silva,Vitor Sencadas,Vitor Sencadas,Ricardo Simoes,Ricardo Simoes,Júlio C. Viana,Senentxu Lanceros-Méndez +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, composites of styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer with multiwall carbon nanotubes were processed by solution casting to investigate the influence of filler content, the different ratios of syrene/butadienes in the copolymers and the architecture of the SBS matrix on the electrical, mechanical and electro-mechanical properties of the composites.
