Abstract
Dispersion and morphology of carbon nanotubes as well as enhancement for rubber reinforcement are studied. A number of characterization methods are used to assess both the degree of dispersion and the level of reinforcement. Small angle scattering (ultra small angle x-ray scattering, small-angle x-ray scattering and light scattering) is carried out to assess structure and dispersion of nanotubes suspended in polyelectrolytes. Transmission electron microscopy and light microscopy are used to assist the investigation. Stress-strain measurement and dynamic mechanical analysis are performed on elastomeric composites to study polymer reinforcement and filler-filler networking. Ultra small angle x-ray scattering is used to study the morphology of pristine and polyelectrolyte-coated multi-walled carbon nanofiber-reinforced polyurethane composites.
