Development of carboxyl-functionalized multi-walled nanotube/polydimethylsiloxane novel polymeric nanodielectric material
Abstract(#br)In this paper, we develop a new type of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based nanocomposite by incorporating carboxyl-functionalized multi-walled nanotube (MWCNT) to the polymer matrix as fillers. The dispersion of MWCNT during the material processing plays a significant role in deciding the final properties of the nanocomposites. A rapid evaporation and stirring method was used to minimize re-aggregation of the fillers during MWCNT/PDMS composites fabrication processing by solution blending.
