TL;DR: In this paper, two ways of introducing nanotubes in polymer matrices were used: the masterbatch dilution method and the direct incorporation into the polymer matrix, where the nanotube dispersion as observed by TEM investigations is quite homogeneous.
Abstract: This paper presents melt mixed composites where two ways of introducing nanotubes in polymer matrices were used In the first case, commercially available masterbatches of nanotube/polymer composites are used as the starting materials that are diluted by the pure polymer in a subsequent melt mixing process (masterbatch dilution method) while in the other case nanotubes are directly incorporated into the polymer matrix As an example of the masterbatch dilution method, composites of polycarbonate with MWNT are presented which are produced using a Brabender PL‐19 single screw extruder In this system, electrical percolation was found at about 05 wt% MWNT The nanotube dispersion as observed by TEM investigations is quite homogeneous The direct incorporation method is discussed in composites of polycarbonate with MWNT and SWNT For commercial MWNT percolation was found between 10 and 30 wt% depending on the aspect ratio and purity of the materials For HiPCO‐SWNT from CNI percolation occurred be

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the main reaction is an exchange reaction identical to that occurring in bisphenol-A polycarbonate-poly(butylene terephthalate) mixtures, probably resulting from the instability of the ethylene carbonates produced by transesterification.
Abstract: This paper is devoted to the study of the reactions taking place in molten bisphenol-A polycarbonate-poly(ethylene terephthalate) mixtures. The analysis of the reaction products by infrared, proton and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and by thermogravimetric analysis shows that the main reaction is an exchange reaction identical to that occurring in bisphenol-A polycarbonate-poly(butylene terephthalate) mixtures. However, some other reactions consecutive to this exchange reaction also take place, probably resulting from the instability of the ethylene carbonates produced by transesterification.

TL;DR: In this article, two poly(3hexylthiophene)-g -polycaprolactones (P3HT- g -PCLs) with different degrees of polymerization (DP) of P3HT backbone were synthesized and used as a compatibilizer for bisphenol A polycarbonate (PC)/multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) composites.
