摘要
Composites were prepared by using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and methyl-ethyl methacrylate copolymer, modified with nonionic surfactant to improve the carbon nanotube dispersion and workability. The thermal results show that the polymer glass transition temperature increases up to 10degreesC and that only 1 wt% CNT content improves the mechanical response by more than 200%, substantially above other reports where large quantities of CNTs were used.
