Tailoring the properties of a polymer nanocomposite with a magnetic field
Abstract
The properties of nanocomposites can be tailored by organizing nanoparticles within the polymer matrix, that is, for potential aerospace, automobile, and infrastructure applications. Multiwalled carbon nanotubes are coated with nickel to produce hybrid Ni‐MWNT nanoparticles. These magnetized nanoparticles are introduced into an epoxy matrix at a relatively low 0.25%–1% volume fraction and oriented along particular directions with an external …
