Influence of mixing in mechanical properties of clay and carbon nanotube and high density polyethylene

In this work, nanocomposites with simultaneous dispersion of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and montmorillonite clays in a high density polyethylene matrix were prepared by two different processes of preparation: solution and melt intercalation. The simultaneous dispersion of clays with carbon nanotubes (CNT) in different polymeric matrices has been showing a synergic potential for increasing mechanical properties, electrical conductivity...
