Fabrication and applications of carbon nanomaterials filled multi-functional nanocomposites
C
arbon nanomaterials, such as Carbon Nanotube (CNT) and graphene, are promising fillers for nanocomposite materials
due to their excellent mechanical and functional properties. Previous researches on carbon nanomaterials filled
nanocomposites have shown limited enhancement of properties due to strong agglomeration of the carbon nano-materials
and poor interfacial bonding between the carbon nanomaterials and matrices. In this presentation, a novel fabrication
process, named as molecular-level mixing process, is introduced to fabricate carbon nanomaterials filled nanocomposites
in order to maximize the effect of filler addition in various matrices. The molecular level mixing process has been proved
to realize homogeneous dispersion of nanomaterials with strong interfacial bonding with matrices. Various types of carbon
nanomaterials filled nanocomposites with remarkably enhanced mechanical, electrical and electro-chemical properties show
a wide scope of possible applications such as strong and tough structural materials, EMI shielding materials, flexible and
stretchable conductors, electrodes for energy storage devices and organic photovoltaic cells, etc.
