Thermo Mechanical Properties of Carbon Nanotube Composites

The possibility of creating polymeric nanocomposites with desired properties can be achieved by mixing it with an appropriate nanomaterial. The carbon-based nanomaterials have an excellent combination of both physical and chemical properties which create a significant interest among the researchers to prepare an industrially useful material employing carbon based nanomaterials as the filler. The thermo-mechanical properties of materials are studied to characterize their internal state and structure. In this chapter, the thermomechanical properties of polymer-CNT nanocomposites and the various factors affecting the thermomechanical properties are discussed.
