They can be found in products including coatings in the aerospace industry, rubber tires in the automotive industry, and emulsifiers in the personal care industry. It is important to be meeting the demands for novel and superior materials and to be able to control how these materials are made on a molecular level. It is also essential to study their performance under various conditions. One method of controlling how a polymer is made is through a synthesis called Reversible Addition Fragmentation Chain Transfer (RAFT) polymerization. RAFT is widely used for its ability to create complex and predictable molecular architectures due to its superior tolerance to monomers. While RAFT polymers alone possess limited mechanical strength, adding dynamic covalent crosslinkers through Diels-Alder adducts can introduce properties like strength and self-healing. Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) have been found to have both attractive conductive and mechanical properties. CNTs are a tube-shaped network of carbon atoms in a single or multi-walled arrangement. We propose that by adding multi-walled CNTs (MWCNTs) to a dynamic covalent RAFT polymer matrix, that it will reinforce properties such as strength, toughness, and introduce electrical conductivity. 2019-08-02 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1564680997583507 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1564680997583507 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
