摘要
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) presents outstanding mechanical properties and therefore are considered very promising reinforcing materials associated to polymeric matrices for high performance applications. In order to obtain such composite materials, it is necessary to purify the SWNTs, and obtain a homogeneous dispersion in the matrix. This paper describes a purification/dispersion process. Two different Curing cycles are applied, and their mechanical properties are obtained. The Young's modulus and the tensile strength are studied in both cases. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
