Synthesized silver nanowire/polystyrene nanocomposites showed superior electrical properties to commercial carbon nanotube/polystyrene nanocomposites at high filler loadings. This was ascribed to the higher metallic nature of silver nanowires.

Mediated by the PS-r-PMMA, the MWNTs were mostly localized at the interface and bridged the PMMA droplets. This strategy led to enhance EMI shielding effectiveness at 0.25 wt% MWNTs through multiple scattering from MWNT covered droplets.

The thermal conductivity and fire response of multiwall carbon nanotube/polyurethane foam composites are investigated for ∼45 kg/m3 foams with multiwall carbon nanotube concentrations of 0.1, 1, and 2 wt.%. The thermal conductivity of such nanocomposites shows a modest increase with increased multiwall carbon nanotube content, which is explained by a high value of interfacial thermal resistance, as predicted by existent thermal models. A strong correlation between multiwall carbon nanotube content, foam’s cellular morphology, and fire behavior was observed. The flame propagation speed increases with the addition of 0.1 wt.% multiwall carbon nanotubes and then reduces as the multiwall carbon nanotube content increases. The mass lost after flame extinction reduces with the addition of multiwall carbon nanotubes, suggesting an increased resistance to flame attack due the multiwall carbon nanotube presence.

In the last ten years carbon nanotube composites are in the focus of the researchers. Different composition of carbon nanotubes and polymers were produced by IDMX mixer. In the experiments polypropylene, polycarbonate and ABS polymers were used as matrix materials. Nanotube master batches were used to prepare different compositions. Concentration series were manufactured by the dynamic mixer. The prepared materials were characterised by scanning electron microscopy. The carbon nanotubes can be seen on the fractured surfaces. We did not find any sign of agglomerates in the materials. During the investigation of isothermal and nonisothermal crystallization of polypropylene nanocomposites it was shown that the carbon nanotube has nucleating effect on polypropylene. Mechanical properties were determined. It was found that the mechanical properties of the nanocomposites decreased. The flammability of the composites is significantly smaller than the original polymers. Polypropylene nanotube composites above 4% nanotube content were not dripping. It is most probable due to some kind of network structure of the material. We assume that the carbon nanotube creates a physical network in the polymers.
