Nonlinear optical properties of some polymerrmulti-walled carbon nanotube composites

چکیده
Ž . Several polymer-coated and polymer-grafted multi-walled carbon nanotubes MWNTs were synthesized and characterized using TEM and HRTEM. The polymer-coated or polymer-grafted MWNTs formed stable solutions in DMF. Their nonlinear optical properties were investigated using 532 nm nanosecond laser pulses. These polymer–MWNT composites still possess strong nonlinear optical properties. q 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

A novel mixing approach for achieving a good dispersion of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in ethylene- propylene diene monomer (EPDM) matrix has been investigated. In this approach EPDM was modified with vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMS) during melt mixing. In addition the effect of MWCNT concentration on mechanical and rheological properties of modified EPDM has been studied. The formulated...
