This article focuses on exploring how the electrical conductivity and densification properties of metallic samples made from aluminum (Al) powders reinforced with 0.5 wt % concentration of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and consolidated through spark plasma sintering (SPS) process are affected by the carbon nanotubes dispersion and the Al particles morphology. Experimental characterization tests performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) show that the MWCNTs were uniformly ball-milled and dispersed in the Al surface particles, and undesirable phases were not observed in X-ray diffraction measurements. Furthermore, high densification parts and an improvement of about 40% in the electrical conductivity values were confirmed via experimental tests performed on the produced sintered samples. These results elucidate that modifying the powder morphology using the ball-milling technique to bond carbon nanotubes into the Al surface particles aids the ability to obtain highly dense parts with increasing electrical conductivity properties.

<p>The chemical functionalization of amino multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT-NH<sub>2</sub>) by selenium dioxide (SeO<sub>2</sub>) was used to produce Poly [MWCNT/Imidoselenium] composite. The prepared poly-composite was characterized by FTIR, SEM, TEM, XRD, UV, DSC and TGA. The DC electrical conductivity of poly-composite was 4.3×10<sup>-4</sup> S/cm due to the interaction between the nanotubes. </p>

Hydroxyl modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes (OH-MWCNT)/ polyurethane (PU) and graphene nanosheets (GNS)/PU composites were prepared by dispersing the OH-MWCNT and GNS at different wt % in to the PU matrix. It was found that the electrical percolation threshold of the GNS/PU composite is much higher compared to that of OH-MWCNT/PU and also the electrical conductivity of the OH-MWCNT/PU composite is higher than the GNS/PU composite in the same level of filler content. This may be due to the two composites having different electrical conduction mechanisms: The OH-MWCNT/PU composite represents a three dimensional conduction system while, the GNS/PU composite represents a two dimensional conduction system. The improvement in the electrical conductivity with the incorporation of GNS as a filler in the composite is far lower than what theoretically expected. It is also observed that the tensile strength of the OH-MWCNT/PU composite is higher compared to the GNS/PU in the same level filler content.

This work is devoted to the study of the effect of carbon nanotubes functionalization on the electrical conductivity of composite materials based on them. Carbon nanotubes were functionalized by treatment in nitric acid and isopropyl alcohol. Changes in the morphology of multi-walled carbon nanotubes during liquid-phase functionalization were investigated using Auger-electron microscopy. Samples of composite material on the basis of initial and functionalized carbon nanotubes and epoxy resin were prepared and the concentration dependence of electrical conductivity using the four-probe method was studied. The study reveals the effect of functionalization in various solutions on the electrophysical properties of the obtained carbon nanotubes/epoxy composites.

Abstract This article is devoted to the study of the thermophysical properties of nanofluids with single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNT). Their weight concentration varied from 0.05 to 0.2%. Nanofluids, based on ethylene glycol and water, were studied. Dispersants were also used. The diffusion of CNT had been systematically investigated by the method of dynamic light scattering and their effective hydrodynamic dimensions were determined. The rheology and viscosity of all nanofluids were studied. It is shown that nanofluids are either pseu-doplastic or viscoplastic. Their rheology changes with increasing CNT concentration and temperature. However, in all cases, the viscosity of nanofluids with single-walled CNTs is signifi-cantly higher than that of nanofluids with multi-walled CNTs. In the last part, the electrical conductivity of all these nanofluids and the dispersants effect on it are investigated.

ABSTRACTVariation in thermal conductivity of Ag-based composites by introduction of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was investigated. The Ag/MWCNT nanocomposite powder was successfully prepared when appropriate surfactants were used via a sonoprocess. The nanocomposite powder was subsequently cured at 280-300 ºC in air. After curing, the thermal conductivity of the nanocomposites was compared with the electronic contribution to thermal conductivity that was estimated from experimental values of the electrical conductivity. The thermal conductivity of Ag/MWCNT nanocomposites was much higher than the electronic contribution. Therefore, the increase in thermal conductivity of the Ag-based nanocomposites is attributed to phonon transfer along the percolation network of MWCNTs.
