The incorporation of carbon nanofibres to enhance the properties of hot compacted self-reinforced single polymer composites

Carbon nanotubes and nanofibres offer the potential for enhancement of a range of polymer properties. A number of types of fillers are available, ranging from single (SWNT) and multi-walled (MWNT) carbon nanotubes, with large aspect ratios (>1000) and longitudinal moduli approaching a terapascal,...
