Abstract

MWNT (carbon nanotube) is versatile filler for the thermoplastic polymers. Since it bears favorable mechanical and electrical properties, its compounding and characterization are getting important. Polycarbonate is a multi-purpose engineering plastic with many applications. Thus, enhancing and controlling its properties by adding MWNT to it are of great importance. This work compares the rheological properties of PC/MWNT composites and virgin PC through the measurement of MFI (melt flow index) and shear rate-dependent viscosity.
