Nanobundles
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
Fine molecular straw, carbon nanotube (NT) is aligned to form a bundle. The purified NTs are mixed with a plastic polymer (polypropylene: PP) and extruded from a small die with a diameter of 2 mm kept at 200°C. The threads of NT/PP blend are characterized by small angle X-ray diffractometry and transmission electron microscope to confirm the existence of nanobundle of NTs, which orient along the spinning direction.
