Abstract

Polyphenylene sulphide (PPS)/multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) composites were prepared using a melt-blending procedure combining centrifugal pre-mixing and twin-screw extrusion. A homogeneous dispersion of MWCNTs throughout the matrix was revealed by scanning electron microscopy for the nanocomposites with MWCNT contents ranging from 0.5 to 8.0 wt%. The presence of the MWCNTs showed both promotion and retardation effects on the crystallization of PPS. The competition between these two effects results in an unusual change of the degree of crystallinity with increasing MWCNT content. The mechanical properties of PPS were markedly enhanced by the incorporation of MWCNTs.
