Carbon nanotubes are novel nanoscaled additives with excellent electrical and mechanical properties that make them suitable for endowing polymeric materials with conductivity and for mechanical reinforcement even in very low amounts. This paper describes possibilities for their incorporation in polymers by means of melt processing.
