摘要：

Single-wall nanotubes (SWNTs), one of the newest of reinforcements for composite materials development, are heralded as having the highest strength features of any reinforcement. The development of composite materials is seen as a good first step toward taking advantage of the structural, electrical, and thermal properties of SWNTs, but processing SWNTs with polymers, metals, and ceramics pose new challenges because of their nanometer size and features. Recently, advances have been made toward developing their mechanical and electrical properties, and initial concerns of composite processing in polymers have been overcome. The potential for conducting polymers is at hand, and the strength features of these new composites are increasing with each new process development. This paper identifies some of the key methods for developing single-wall nanotube-reinforced polymer composites for a range of applications and focuses on producing near-term multifunctional materials for structural and electrical applications.
