Abstract

A procedure for the production of carbon nanotube (CNT) reinforced poly(vinylidine difluoride) (PVDF) powders has been developed. These powders are versatile precursors for a range of nanocomposite materials. The morphology of the CNT/PVDF powder can be related to the interaction between filler and matrix, which depends on the degree of modification of the polymer with grafted maleic anhydride (MAHโ€graftโ€PVDF). The mechanical performance of the nanocomposite containing 2.5 wt.โ€% CNT and 1.25 ppm of MAH increased in tensile modulus, tensile strength, and strain to failure by 34, 30, and 22%, respectively, as compared to PVDF.

## Abstract Carbon nanotubes (NT) have attracted growing interest in recent years as a conducting filler in the development of conductive polymer composites. However, most of experimental results show that the conductivity of NT/polymer composites is significantly lower than expected. Can NTs be an
