摘要
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can be used to compound poly (methyl methacrylate)/carbon nanotube (PMMA/CNT) composites by an in situ process. The experimental results show that CNTs can be initiated by AIBN to open their pi-bonds, which imply that CNTs may participate in PMMA polymerization and form a strong combining interface between the CNTs and the PMMA matrix. Through the use of an improved in situ process, the mechanical properties and the heat deflection temperatures of composites rise with the increase of CNTs. The dispersion ratio of CNTs in the PMMA matrix is proportional to the reaction time of polymerizing MMA before CNTs are added into the PMMA mixture. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A.
