Abstract
Research work reported herein, involve fabrication of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) (MWCNTs type 3, MWCNTs type 5 and MWCNTs type 6), reinforced into shape memory thermoplastic polyurethane (SMTPU) by use of melt mixings route by the use of micro-compounder followed by mini injection moulding. The composites of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were prepaired through ex-situ polymerization, into SMTPU pure matrix, containing 0 to 1.5 phr (par per hundred) fillers. Successfully dispersion was achieved for various percentage of nano fillers into SMTPU pure matrix which is characterized using Fields Emissions Scanning Electrons Microscope (FE-SEM), High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscope (HR-TEM), Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), and X-Rays Diffractions (XRD) etc. the shape and size of nano fillers (MWCNTs and graphene nanoplatelets) was characterized using high quality TEM and FE-SEM, and AFM techniques.
