| Summary: | The purpose of this research work is to evaluate the effects of reinforcing high impact
polystyrene (HIPS’s) with multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on the mechanical performance
and the water absorption resistance. The significant changes in HIPS/MWCNTs nanocomposite on
the mechanical performance and water absorption resistance were investigated with different weight
percentage of MWCNTs in the range of 0.10 wt% to 10 wt%. |
