The present study concerns study of the Bulk and nano-mechanical properties of Ag-CNT vis-à-vis Ag reinforced polymer composites. The Ag-CNT hybrid powder blend was prepared by mechanical milling. Variation of the bulk and nano-mechanical properties has been attributed to the morphological features and the degree of dispersion of the fillers. It has been found that dispersion of Ag-CNT hybrid particle is beneficial for improvement of both the mechanical properties. POLYM.

Polymer Composites

Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotube (F-MWCNT) based composite films were prepared using solution casting method. Nanoindentation and scratch measurements were carried out to study the influence of F-MWCNT as the reinforcement on the mechanical properties of the composite at the sub-micron scale. The composites were prepared with varying weight percentages of F-MWCNT in the PMMA matrix. The composites containing an adequate amount (0.25 wt%) of F-MWCNT was found to demonstrate the maximum nanomechanical properties, viz. hardness, elastic modulus, recovery index. Scratch resistance measured in terms of coefficient of friction, also showed maximum value for the PMMA composite reinforced with 0.25 wt% of F-MWCNT. © 2013 Society of Plastics Engineers.
