Spectroscopic, thermal, and electrical evaluation of CNT-modified PVC/PMMA blends
Researchers at Van Yüzüncü Yıl University fabricated twelve carbon nanotube-modified PVC/PMMA nanocomposites at three PVC ratios, characterising how the nanotubes change thermal and electrical behaviour.
Researchers have conducted a comprehensive evaluation of carbon nanotube (CNT)-modified polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) blends. The study focused on three different PVC ratios: 40%, 50%, and 80%. A total of twelve nanocomposites were fabricated using a solvent-based method.
The spectroscopic analysis revealed how CNTs influence the molecular interactions within the PVC/PMMA matrix. Thermal properties were assessed to determine the stability and degradation behavior of the composites. Electrical conductivity measurements highlighted the potential of these CNT-modified blends for applications requiring enhanced electrical properties.
This research underscores the role of CNTs in enhancing the performance characteristics of PVC/PMMA blends, offering insights into their potential use in advanced material applications.
