- Abstract
- Highly aligned multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) polymer composites were fabricated via a roll-to-roll milling process; the alignment of the MWCNTs could be controlled by varying the speed of the rotating rolls. The effect of MWCNT alignment on the polymer matrix was morphologically observed and quantitatively characterized using polarized Raman spectroscopy. To provide a more detailed comparison, MWCNT composites with alignment in the transverse direction and random alignment were fabricated and tested. Enhanced mechanical and electrical properties were obtained for the aligned MWCNT composite, which can be attributed to the efficient electrical network and load transfer, respectively. In addition, a cyclic stretching test was conducted to evaluate the piezo-resistive characteristics of the aligned MWCNT composites. The composites with an aligned filler configuration showed an exceptionally high degree of strain sensitivity compared to the other composites. © 2020 by the authors.
