Dispersion characteristics of hydroxyl and carboxyl-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes in polyester nanocomposites

Multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) reinforced polyester-based composites were prepared by mixed blending in a solvent. Orthophthalic unsaturated polyester was blended individually with different types of non-functionalized and functionalized MWCNTs. Two types of functional groups: hydroxyl (-OH) a...
