Preparation, thermal and mechanical properties of poly (ether‐imide) composite reinforced with carbon nanotube buckypaper

Vacuum filtration technique was employed in order to prepare multiwalled carbon nanotube buckypapers (MWCNT‐BP) through a well‐dispersed suspension of MWCNT/H 2 O with the aid of Triton X‐100 surfactant. The obtained BP (buckypaper) was then infiltrated with a solution of poly (ether‐imide) (PEI) under vacuum conditions. The visual inspection demonstrated the importance of the centrifugation procedure before the vacuum filtration of the...
