Properties Prediction of Carbon Nanotube Polymer Composites during Melt Processing

Abstract

Detailed knowledge on the dependence of material and component properties on the processing conditions during melt processing of carbon nanotube-polymer composites is of importance for product quality and economic efficiency. Combining of in-line process monitoring, laboratory tests, development of material models and implementation into process simulation can contribute to optimise the manufacturing process and the electrical and mechanical properties of the final plastic parts.
