Carbon Nanotube-Reinforced Thermotropic Liquid Crystal Polymer Nanocomposites

Carbon Nanotube-Reinforced Thermotropic Liquid Crystal Polymer Nanocomposites

This paper focuses on the fabrication via simple melt blending of thermotropic liquid crystal polyester (TLCP) nanocomposites reinforced with a very small quantity of modified carbon nanotube (CNT) and the unique effects of the modified CNT on the physical properties of the nanocomposites. The therm...
