Abstract
Dynamic mechanical properties of the poly(ether-sulfone) (PES)/multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) nanocomposites manufactured by powder metallurgical route was discussed for the first time. The structural investigation of the nanocomposites was analysed by x-ray diffraction. At room temperature, both storage modulus and microhardness of the nanocomposites increased by more than 60% while the strengthening efficiency at higher temperatures is several-folds compared to that of neat PES. The nanocomposites exhibited better damping behaviour compared to neat PES. The Cole–Cole plot indicated a good interaction between the PES and the MWCNT. Moreover, the coefficient of reinforcement decreased by 42% while the degree of entanglement increased.
