Abstract | Multiwalled carbon nanotube/rigid-rod polyimide composite films have been prepared by casting a solution of precursor polymer (polyamide acid) containing multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) into thin films, followed by a thermal imidization treatment. The composite films were characterized by FTIR, TEM, DSC, TGA and TMA, and the film tensile properties were also examined. The presence of 1.0% MWNTs in the polymer matrix led to more than twofold increase in tensile strength of the rigidrod polyimide composite films and improved thermal stability, but reduced in thermal deformation. However, the tensile property did not show further increase when the film contained higher composition of MWNTs. |
