Thermal and Mechanical Properties of PC/SAN Blend and Carbon Nanotube Nanocomposite

Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were introduced as nanofiller into blends of polycarbonate (PC) and poly (styrene-acrylonitrile) (SAN). The mechanical and thermal properties was investigated by tensile test and thermogravometric analysis (TGA). The mechanical properties of the MWCNTs filled nanocomposites vary according to nanofiller content. The modulus increases 30% at maximum as the MWCNTs loading is 2 wt %, while elongation at break decreases dramatically. Thermal stability of nanocomposites were also improved in the presence of small amount of MWCNTs
