Chemically modified carbon nanotube and polymer composites for improved mechanical and acoustic performance

This study has been undertaken in order to develop a new nanocomposite acoustic material via incorporation of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) into the conventional damping material–polyvinyl acetate (PVAc). Usually MWCNTs are added into polymers to strengthen its stiffness only. Here, propert...
