Combined Solution

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes filled ABS (ABS/MWCNTs) composites were prepared via a method combined solution-blending with hot-press forming. Fractured cross-sectional surfaces of the ABS/MWCNTs composites were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy showing that MWCNTs were dispersed homogeneously in the ABS matrix. The volume resistivity of these composites was also analyzed and the percolation threshold was obtained at low filler loadings about 1–3 wt%. The Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effectiveness (SE) of ABS/MWCNTs composites was investigated in 100–1500 MHz. It was found that SE of the prepared composites strongly depended on MWCNT loading. The highest EMI SE reaching 36 dB was observed for ABS/MWCNT composites containing 15 wt% of MWCNTs at 760 MHz.

The One

The thermal conductive filler/epoxy resin (EP) composites were prepared by a casting method. The effects of the multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), aluminum nitride (AlN) particles, and their compounds on the microstructure and thermal conductivity of the composites were investigated, in addition to the thermal properties. The results indicated that compounds of MWCNTs and AlN particles exhibited a remarkable synergistic effect to improve the thermal conductivity properties of the composites. The one-dimensional MWCNTs with superb thermal conductivity bridged the AlN particles to form an excellent network, which provides a faster and more effective pathway for phonon transport in the composites. The thermal conductivity of the 0.6 vol% MWCNTs/3.4 vol% AlN/EP composite is 0.53 W (m K)−1. In addition, the thermal conductivity of the MWCNTs/AlN/EP composites with 0.4 vol% MWCNTs and 3.4 vol% AlN is 0.48 W (m K)−1 (which is twice the value of 0.24 W (m K)−1 for the pure EP) which was much higher than the 0.4 vol% MWCNTs/EP composites (0.27 W (m K)−1) and the 3.4 vol% AlN/EP composites (0.28 W (m K)−1). Bruggeman’s equation is identified to fit quite well to the experimental results of the AlN/EP composites in the entire range of volume percentage of AlN; however, the MWCNTs/EP composites coincided better to the Russell equation. The volume resistivity of the MWCNTs/AlN/EP composites (approximately 1.8–2.6 × 1012 Ω m) exhibited only a slight compromise in comparison to the pure EP (2.5 × 1014 Ω m), which manifested the excellent insulation characteristic of these composites.

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.
