Nanotubes, elastomeric networks

This paper represents an overview of investigations carried out in carbon nanotube / elastomeric composites with an emphasis on the factors that control their properties. Carbon nanotubes have clearly demonstrated their capability as electrical conductive fillers in nanocomposites and this property has already been commercially exploited in the fabrication of electronic devices. The filler network provides electrical conduction pathways above the percolation threshold. The percolation threshold is reduced when a good dispersion is achieved. Significant increases in stiffness are observed. The enhancement of mechanical properties is much more significant than that imparted by spherical carbon black or silica particles present in the same matrix at a same filler loading, thus highlighting the effect of the high aspect ratio of the nanotubes. [Pg.345]
