โœฆ Synopsis

High density polyethylene (HDPE) was used as the matrix material for a carbon nanotube (CNT) polymer composites. This combination of composite constituents has not been previously reported in the literature. Multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWNT) / HDPE composite films were fabricated using the melt processing method. The composite films with 0, 1, 3 and 5% nanotube content by weight were analyzed under SEM and TEM to observe nanotube dispersion. The mechanical properties of the films were measured by small punch test. Results show increases in the stiffness, peak load and work to failure for the composite films with increasing MWNT content.
