| Abstract: | The length of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) has an important influence on the properties of polymer/MWCNT composites. This study aims to examine the influence of the length of MWCNT on the mechanical properties, distribution, melting and crystallization behavior, and electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) of PP/MWCNT composites. The test results show that MWCNT of a short length contribute to better mechanical properties and have a better dispersion in the matrix. MWCNT also serve as a nucleating agent for PP, thereby increasing the crystallization temperature (Tc). In particular, short MWCNT provide PP/MWCNT composites with a greater degree of cyrstallinity. The conjunction of 8 wt% long MWCNT in PP/MWCNT composites results in an optimal electrical resistivity of 65.02 Ω-cm, and an average EMI SE of ?29.47 dB. The polymer/MWCNT composites have properties that can be adjusted by using different lengths of MWCNT, which is advantageous for application in diverse products. |
