Thermal expansion properties of the polycaprolactam nanocomposites reinforced with single-walled carbon nanotubes

摘要: Abstract The effect of carbon nanotube loading and aspect ratio on the thermal expansion properties polymer nanocomposites was investigated in terms material properties, configuration, phase geometry each individual component. objective this research is to provide methods for fabricating reinforced with very low coefficients expansion. polycaprolactam prepared different levels histories were gain a better understanding morphology-property relationships. effects behavior evaluated. results indicated that nanotubes have significant nanocomposite, high ratios filler are preferred. issue dispersion critical efficient reduction properties. Additionally, it desirable achieve degree alignment matrix along desired direction coefficient linear direction. Furthermore, flow-induced flow leads reduced nanocomposite. Finally, there an excellent correlation between relative Young's modulus nanocomposite matrix.
