abstract |
Here, the confirmation of an oriented nanohybrid shish-kebab (NHSK) crystalline structure
in a series of composites of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and multiwall carbon
nanotubes (MWCNTs) is reported. The combined use of small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering
(SAXS/WAXS) and thermal analysis has been used to investigate the morphology development
in PET-MWCNT nanocomposites under hot isothermal crystallization conditions. The MWCNTs
act as both heterogeneous nucleating agents and surfaces (oriented shish structures)
for the epitaxial growth of PET crystallites (kebabs) giving an oriented crystalline
morphology. In contrast, the PET homopolymer does not show any residual oriented crystalline
morphology during isothermal crystallization but gave a sporadic nucleation of a classic
unoriented lamellar structure with slower crystallization kinetics. The results provide
a valuable insight into the role of MWCNTs as nanoparticulate fillers in the morphology
development and subsequent modification of physical properties in engineering polymers. |
