ABSTRACTAn oxidation method has been applied to functionalize multiwalled carbon nanotubes with carboxylic acid (-COOH) group. Functionalized carbon nanotubes (f-MWNT) were used for the fabrication of conducting nanocomposite fibers by electrospinning, in comparison with the composite nanofibers made of un-functionalized carbon nanotubes (u-MWNT). Our results showed that the addition of f-MWNTs into polymer solution could increase the compatibility of MWNTs with the polymer matrix, and thus result in composite nanofibers with uniform diameters. Alignment of the composite nanofibers was achieved by using a rotating drum as the collector. F-MWNTs were found to align parallel to the axis direction of the nanofibers. Temperature-dependent DC electrical properties of a single composite fiber were investigated by a two-probe method. It was shown that the conductivity of the material could be significantly improved above a percolation threshold. The conductivity could be of ten orders of magnitude higher than the pure PVAc.


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.

Electrical properties of carbon nanotubes-based epoxy nanocomposites for high electrical conductive plate were investigated. Dispersion and incorporation mechanism between two conductive fillers with different sizes (CNTs and Graphite) in the polymer matrix are the key factors in the fabrication of high electrical conductivity plate. Different variation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) (1~10 wt %) and Graphite (G) (60 ~ 69 wt %) loading concentration were added into the epoxy resin. Dispersion of CNTs and G in epoxy resin were conducted by the internal mixer with a Haake torque rheometer. The mixture of G/CNTs/EP was poured into the steel mold, and G/CNTs/EP nanocomposites had been fabricated through compression molding. The electrical conductivity of nanocomposites in terms of variation of G and CNTs concentration were measured by the four point probe for in a plane electrical conductivity. The results revealed that addition of G/CNTs and increasing curing temperature are effective ways to produce high electrical conductive nanocomposites. The highest electrical conductivity was reached on 104.7 S/cm by addition 7.5 wt% of CNTs. Dispersion quality of G and CNTs in the epoxy matrix was observed on the fractured surface by scanning electron microscopic.
