Poly(ethylene terephthalate)/Carbon Nanotube Composites Prepared With Chemically Treated Carbon Nanotubes

TL;DR: In this paper, the surface properties of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNT) were functionalized by treatment with strong acid mixture (purification) followed by modification with sodium dodecyl sulfate, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), and diglycidyl ether of Bisphenol A (DGEBA), and Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and nuclear magnetic resonance analyses of the composites revealed the increase in the interactions between PET and CNT surface after treatment with PEG and DGEBA.

Piezoelectric constant for binary piezoelectric 0-3 connectivity composites and the effect of mixed connectivity

TL;DR: In this paper, an analytic expression for the d constant of a binary piezoelectric 0-3 connectivity composite is presented under the limiting assumption that the dielectric constant of the ceramic is much greater than the matrix.
