Selective localization of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) at the interface of immiscible polymer blend was achieved by the method that poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) (SMA) was first reacted with CNTs, and then blended with nylon6/polystyrene (PA6/PS). In the PA6/PS blends, CNTs was localized in PA6 phase and the percolation threshold was 2wt%. However, for the PA6/PS/(SMA- CNTs) composites, TEM results showed that most of CNTs were selectively localized in matrix, but some of tubes were induced by SMA to disperse at the interface. The localization of CNTs at the interface caused the percolation threshold of PA6/PS/(SMA- CNTs) was only 0.33 wt%, which is much lower than that of PA6/PS/ CNTs.

ABSTRACTElastomeric composites based on Ethylene-Propylene-Diene-Monomer (EPDM) filled with multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) have been prepared, showing improved mechanical properties as compared to the pure EPDM matrix. The results have been discussed using the Guth model. The main focus of the study was on the electrical behavior of the nanocomposites, in view of possible sensor applications. A linear relation has been found between conductivity and deformations up to 10% strain, which means that such materials could be used for applications such as strain or pressure sensors. Cyclic experiments were conducted to establish whether the linear relation was reversible, which is an important requirement for sensor materials.
