Big returns from small fibers: A review of polymer/carbon nanotube composites

Breuer, O., Sundararaj, Uttandaraman·2004·Polymer Composites

Abstract

This paper reviews recent studies conducted on carbon nanotube/polymer composites. Carbon nanotubes are promising new materials for blending with polymers with potential to obtain low‐weight nanocomposites of extraordinary mechanical, electrical, thermal and multifunctional properties. The size scale, aspect ratio and properties of nanotubes provide advantages in a variety of applications, including electrostatically dissipative materials; advanced materials with combined stiffness, strength and impact for aerospace or sporting goods; composite mirrors; automotive parts that require electrostatic painting and automotive components with enhanced mechanical properties. The various processing methods for producing these nanocomposites are discussed, in particular melt mixing, solution processing and in‐situ polymerization. Some key results are summarized, relating to the mechanical, electrical, thermal, optical and surface properties. Finally, the challenges for the future are discussed in terms of processing, characterization, nanotube availability, nanotube tailoring, and the mechanisms governing the behavior of these remarkable nanoscale composites.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
