Abstract

The impact of embedded carbon nanotubes on the effective viscoelastic response of a nanotube-reinforced polycarbonate system is characterized by studying the temperature- and frequency-dependent behaviour of the material. Macroscale experimental results demonstrate that the effective relaxation spectra of the samples is consistent with non-bulk polymer regions of restricted molecular mobility. Such low mobility regions are attributed to localized nanoscale interactions between the nanotubes and individual polymer chains.
