However, processing CNT\/thermoplastic composites has been extremely challenging due to the nano scale of CNT and their inherently strong affinity to themselves. Two major issues in processing CNT\/thermoplastic composites for enhanced mechanical properties are achieving uniform dispersion and producing alignment of the nanotubes in the polymer matrix. This book presents an approach that used a combination of surfactant- aided mixing, extrusion, and various drawing processing techniques to successfully obtain significant improvement of nanotube dispersion and alignment in a semi-crystalline polymer matrix. The processing techniques used were relatively simple without the requirement of sophisticated equipment, making low-cost and easy commercial processing a possibility. This book also provided a practical method for dispersion and alignment measurement that correlated with the material strength.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VDM Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47585398522007,"sku":"9783639130287","price":4519.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783639130287.webp?v=1774960169","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/processing-carbon-nanotube-thermoplastic-composites-9783639130287","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
