Reinforcement of Polymers with Carbon Nanotubes: The Role of Nanotube Surface Area
Abstract
Tensile tests were carried out on free-standing composite films of poly(vinyl alcohol) and six different types of carbon nanotubes for different nanotube loading levels. Significant increases in Young's modulus by up to a factor of 2 were observed in all cases. Theories such as the rule-of-mixtures or the Halpin-Tsai-theory could not explain the relative differences between composites made from different tube types. However, it is possible to show that the reinforcement scales linearly with the total nanotube surface area in the films, indicating that low diameter multiwall nanotubes are the best tube type for reinforcement. In addition, in all cases crystalline coatings around the nanotubes were detected by calorimetry, suggesting comparible polymer−nanotube interfaces. Thus, the reinforcement appears to be critically dependent on the polymer−nanotube interfacial interaction as previously suggested.

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.
