Electrical conductivity and mechanical properties of multiwalled carbon nanotube-reinforced polypropylene nanocomposites (Q665874)

The electrical conductivity and elastic moduli of nano-composites, such as multi-walled carbon nanotubes reinforced polypropylene, are estimated and discussed using the `percolation' theory and various micro-mechanical models proposed in the literature. Experimental results and diagrams (electrical conductivity and elastic moduli versus the percentage of carbo-nanotube content and versus the carbo-nanotube injection speed) are provided by the authors.
