Description
Summary:The preparation and the characterization of nanotubes‐reinforced poly(dimethyl)siloxane nanocomposites is reported. Surprisingly the use of “self pure” multiwall carbon nanotubes, that is, without any surface functionalization or specific surface treatment, turns out to be the most efficient approach to impart new key‐properties to the silicone matrix.
