Abstract
Present study concentrates on the effect of silane coupling agent on the properties and dispersibility of multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNTs) in the Polycarbonate (PC)/Liquid Crystalline Polymer (LCP) system. Thermal stability of the PC/LCP/MWCNTs has been improved in an appreciable manner with the addition of silane coupling agents, as revealed from thermogravimetric analysis. Storage modulus also enhanced on addition of silane coupling agent into PC/LCP/MWCNTs systems. Field Emission Electron Microscopic study revealed finer morphology and substantial reduction of the LCP domain, indicating better compatibility between PC and LCP in the presence of a silane coupling agent. High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopic study supports the unform dispersion of MWCNTs throughout the matrix in the presence of a silane coupling agent.
