摘要

In the present work, the effect of different acid treatment times of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) on the mechanical and thermal properties of polypropylene (PP)/maleated polypropylene (PP-g-MA) nanocomposites was investigated. The acid treatment process was based on a mixture of concentrated sulphuric and nitric acids. The SWNTs were treated with the acid mixture for 1, 3, and 6 h. FTIR, Raman spectroscopy and TEM revealed the values of carboxylic groups, graphitization and morphology of acid treated SWNTs, respectively. The thermal and mechanical properties and the morphology of nanocomposites were investigated by tensile tests, DMTA, DSC, and SEM.
