The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of carbon nanotube (CNT) chemical properties, CNT content, and molding temperature on the morphology, electrical, and mechanical properties of the microfiber-reinforced polymer composites. These composites were prepared by extrusion and hot stretching the poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)/CNT phase in high density polyethylene (HDPE) matrix. Surfaces of the CNT were modified by purification with strong acid mixture (HNO3 : H2SO4 mixture 1 : 1 by volume) followed by treatment with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). In situ microfibrillar composites were prepared with untreated and modified CNT. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analyses indicated that CNT were preferentially located in PET phase of the composites. SEM micrographs of the hot-stretched composites pointed out the existence of PET/CNT microfiber structure in HDPE phase up to 1 wt % CNT loadings and the electrical resistivities of these composites were lower than 107 ohm/cm. Tensile strength values of the composites containing 0.75 wt % CNT increased from 44 to 52 MPa after PEG treatment due to the improved mechanical strength of PET/CNT phase.

Effect of Carbon Black and/or Elastomer on Thermoplastic Elastomer-based Blends and Composites
Yaşar, Mehmet Soner; Bayram, Göknur (2014-06-12)
It was aimed to investigate the effect of carbon black and/or elastomer on the electrical conductivity and mechanical properties of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE). Carbon black (CB) and ethylene-glycidyl methacrylate (E-GMA) were used as additives in the main matrix. The blends and composites were characterized in terms of their electrical conductivity and mechanical properties. CB concentration was varied as 0.5, 1, 3 and 5 wt.%. In order to modify the surface of CB, paraffinic oil and silane coupling agent...
Effects of oxidative functionalization and aminosilanization of carbon nanotubes on the mechanical and thermal properties of polyamide 6 nanocomposites
Kaynak, Cevdet (SAGE Publications, 2013-11-13)
The focus of this study is to investigate the effects of oxidative functionalized carbon nanotubes (f-CNTs) and aminosilanized carbon nanotubes (s-CNTs) on the mechanical and thermal properties of polyamide 6 nanocomposites. Oxidation of nanotube surfaces was conducted with sulfuric acid/nitric acid mixture and then aminosilanization was carried out with -aminopropyltriethoxysilane. Nanocomposites were compounded by melt mixing technique and shaped by injection molding. Scanning electron microscopy images r...
Effect of resin and fiber on the abrasion, impact and pressure resistance of cylindrical composite structures
Kaya, Derya; Yılmazer, Ülkü; Department of Chemical Engineering (2011)
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of resin and fiber on the abrasion, impact and internal pressure resistances of fiber reinforced plastic composite pipes produced by continuous filament winding method. For this study, pipe samples were produced with different combinations of resin type, fiber type, fiber amount and fiber length. All the samples were tested in accordance with the related ISO (International Organization for Standardization), DIN (German Standardization Institution) and BSI...
Effects of oxidative functionalized and aminosilanized carbon nanotubes on the crystallization behaviour of polyamide-6 nanocomposites
Kaynak, Cevdet (2014-04-01)
The purpose of this study is to investigate effects of oxidative functionalized and aminosilanized carbon nanotubes on the (1) isothermal and (2) non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of polyamide-6 by DSC analyses, and (3) crystal structure of injection molded specimens by XRD analyses. Nanocomposites were compounded by using melt mixing technique via twin screw extrusion. Due to basically very effective heterogeneous nucleation effect, both increasing amount and surface functionalization of carbon nanot...
Effect of thermal treatments and palladium loading an hydrogen sorption characteristics of single-walled carbon nanotubes
KOCABAŞ, SEFA; KOPAÇ, TÜRKAN; DOĞU, GÜLŞEN; Doğu, Timur (2008-03-01)
The effects of thermal treatments and palladium loading on sorption characteristics of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) samples were investigated. The thermal treatment experiments were carried out in a temperature range of 300-800 degrees C. The sorption characteristics of nitrogen and hydrogen on the original, heat treated and the palladium loaded samples were investigated. Analyzing the nitrogen adsorption isotherms on these samples at 77.4 K, the highest specific surface area of 2230 m(2)/g was obt...
