Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Polymethyl Methacrylate-BN Nanotube Composites

Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)-BN nanotube (BNNT) composites were fabricated and their mechanical and thermal properties were analyzed. Using a 1 wt.% BNNTs fraction in a polymer, the elastic modulus of PMMA was increased up to 19%. In addition, thermal stability and glass transition temperature of...
