PANI/tetradecanol/MWNTs composites were prepared via in-situ polymerization and analyzed for their use as phase change materials. The MWNTs were randomly dispersed in the composite and it was determined that the PCM was form-stable and that phase separation of the MWNTs and PANI/tetradecanol wouldn't occur....
Single and multi walled carbon nanotubes were prepared using the floating catalyst chemical vapor deposition method and were subsequently added to polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) to generate a composite material. The thermal properties of these composite materials were studied. The effect of acid treatment on these composite materials was also studied and was found to decrease the thermal conductivity of the materials. The addition of CNTs to the PMMA resulted in an ...
