An Acrylic Polymer Composite with the Inclusion of Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes

Abstract

Polymer composites including modified multiwall carbon nanotubes were obtained by the block polymerisation of triethylene glycol dimethacrylate. The heat stability and microhardness of the materials were studied. A composite doped with nanotubes is more stable after annealing and hydrochloric acid treatment.
