The reinforcing ability of the fillers results in significant improvements in properties of polymer matrix at extremely low filler loadings as compared to conventional fillers. In view of this, the present review article describes the different methods used in preparation of different rubber nanocomposites reinforced with nanodimensional individual carbonaceous fillers, such as graphene, expanded graphite, single walled carbon nanotubes, multiwalled carbon nanotubes and graphite oxide, graphene oxide, and hybrid fillers consisting combination of individual fillers. This is followed by review of mechanical properties (tensile strength, elongation at break, Young modulus, and fracture toughness) and dynamic mechanical properties (glass transition temperature, crystallization temperature, melting point) of these rubber nanocomposites. Finally, Payne and Mullin effects have also been reviewed in rubber filled with different carbon based nanofillers.

ABSTRACTWe report the use of high power ultrasonic agitation to create inelastic deformations in multiwalled carbon nanotubes. Using STM coupled with TEM we show that this damage can range from kinking to breaking of continuous tube walls into segments. Such deformed tubes provide an insight into the role of re-hybridization in the electrical and mechanical properties of tubes.

In efforts to improve the thermal conductivity (TC) of Ultem™ 1000, it was compounded with three carbon based nano-fillers. Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), vapor grown carbon nanofibers (CNF) and expanded graphite (EG) were investigated. Ribbons were extruded to form samples in which the nano-fillers were aligned. Samples were fabricated by compression molding where the nano-fillers were randomly oriented. The thermal properties were evaluated by DSC and TGA, and the mechanical properties of the aligned samples were determined by tensile testing. The degree of dispersion and alignment of the nanoparticles were investigated with high-resolution scanning electron microscopy. The thermal conductivity was measured in two directions using the Nanoflash technique.

Polyesteramide (PEA) have good mechanical properties, compositing with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) can further improve the mechanical properties of the polymer. In this paper, PEA/MWNTs were synthesized in-suit using the reinforcement of nanocomposite. SEM and tensile testing were used to characterize the composited polyesteramides. The results show that MWNTs can be uniformly dispersed in the composited polyesteramides, the PEA/MWNTs tensile strength and Elongation at break increased.

Nanocomposites of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) have been fabricated using a facile solution blending technique with the variable weight of MWCNTs in ABS within a range of 1–5 wt% in the ABS/MWCNTs nanocomposites. Morphological characterization using field emission scanning electron microscope has shown uniform dispersion of MWCNTs in the nanocomposites. Thermal gravimetric analysis has shown improved thermal degradation stability for 5 wt% ABS/MWCNTs nanocomposites in comparison to pure ABS. Thermal expansion analysis of ABS/MWCNTs nanocomposites also showed a significant reduction in thermal strain and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) in comparison to pure ABS, with the 5 wt% sample showing a maximum reduction in thermal expansion properties. Mechanical characterization for 5 wt% ABS/MWCNTs nanocomposite, using nanoindentation, showed significant improvement in elastic modulus (90%) and hardness (99%) in comparison to pure ABS. The dynamic mechanical properties of 5 wt% ABS/MWCNTs nanocomposites also showed significant improvement with storage modulus and hardness improving by 153% and 342%, respectively, in comparison to pure ABS. These enhanced thermal and mechanical properties of ABS/MWCNTs nanocomposites enable their applications for a wider scope in various areas of engineering-based application, especially in the automobile industry.

AbstractIn this paper, the effects of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on the mechanical and damping properties of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) were investigated. The results show that the proper amount of MWCNTs can improve mechanical properties as well as the damping properties. For the mechanical properties, the compressive strength and flexural strength of the specimens increased with the increase of MWCNTs content in the range of 0~0.05% (mass ratio to cement). However, when the content of MWCNTs was more than 0.05wt.%, the mechanical properties of UHPC could not be improved continually because too many MWCNTs were difficult to disperse and agglomerated easily in UHPC. Similar laws also have been found for the damping property of UHPC. The loss factor of UHPC increased with the increase of MWCNTs content in the range of 0 ~ 0.05%. The incorporation of MWCNTs would introduce a large number of interfaces into UHPC, the friction and slip between interfaces were the main reasons for the improvement of the damping property of UHPC. However, when the content of MWCNTs was more than 0.05%, it was difficult to disperse effectively. As a result, the overall energy consumption efficiency of MWCNTs was decreased.

The basic and dynamic mechanical properties and thrermal conductivity of rubber composites filled with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and various particle-sized carbon blacks (CB) were investigated. Results indicated that tear strength and modulus at a definite elongation of rubber composites filled with CNTs were enhanced compared to the conventional CB filler. However, tensile strength and elongation at break became lower. Thermal conductivity of rubber composites partly filled with CNTs is higher than those filled with CB. Rubber filled with the combination of CNTs and the bigger CB particles was beneficial to improve wet-resistant performance and roll resistance of elastomer such as tire.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been widely known as nanomaterials with excellent mechanical properties. Previous studies reported that the tensile strength of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was up to 63 GPa and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) could reach 150 GPa while the highest tensile strength of the steel was found to be about 1.8 GPa. SWCNTs could have Young’s modulus up to 1000 GPa that was much greater than the value of 209 GPa of steel. Therefore, there is a great potential to utilize CNTs as reinforced materials for composites in general and Ni electrodeposition coating in particular to improve hardness, durability, corrosion, and other physical and mechanical properties. This paper presents results of preparing and examining characteristics of the Nickel electrodeposition coatings containing MWCNTs (Ni-MWCNTs). The Ni-MWCNTs composite coatings deposited on a steel plate with the area of 0.4 dm2 using bipolar pulses at 470 Hz and 50oC in a 5-liter bath. Amount of CNTs varying from 1 g/l to 3 g/l was dispersed into the solution by using surfactants and ultrasonic vibration. CNTs used in the study was MWCNTs diameters in the range from 20 to 90 nanometers and few micrometers in length. The SEM, EDS, hardness and adhesion tests were conducted to analyze the properties of the electrodeposition coatings. The obtained results indicated that the hardness and adhesion of the Ni-CNTs coating were 1.5 and 1.46 times, respectively, higher than those of the Ni coating. In addition, adhesion of the Ni-CNTs coating was significantly improved.
