Preparation and electrical characterization of a silicone elastomer composite charged with multi-wall carbon nanotubes functionalized with 7-octenyltrichlorosilane

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes, chemically functionalized with 7-octenytrichlorosilane, are dispersed in one of the two reactive parts used to form a silicone elastomer. Links between the functionalized carbon nanotubes and the polymer matrix are created in situ during the curing step. Electrical and...

Description
Summary:Multi-walled carbon nanotubes, chemically functionalized with 7-octenytrichlorosilane, are dispersed in one of the two reactive parts used to form a silicone elastomer. Links between the functionalized carbon nanotubes and the polymer matrix are created in situ during the curing step. Electrical and electrochemical properties of the silicone elastomer loaded with raw, purified, oxidized and functionalized carbon nanotubes are compared.
