Abstract
null null Poly caprolactone (PCL) was used to modify multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs). The characterization results of TEM, FTIR, Raman, TG and 721 Spectrophotometer showed that PCL was covalently combined with MWNTs. The MWNTs/PVC composites were prepared by the addition of pristine and modified MWNTs into poly(vinyl chloride) through melting process. The addition of MWNT-PCL (0.28 vol%) increased the Young’s modulus, tensile strength,...
