Influence of Carbon Nanotube-Pretreatment on the Properties of Polydimethylsiloxane/Carbon Nanotube-Nanocomposites

Incorporating nanofillers into elastomers leads to composites with an enormous potential regarding their properties. Unfortunately, nanofillers tend to form agglomerates inhibiting adequate filler dispersion. Therefore, different carbon nanotube (CNT) pretreatment methods were analyzed in this study...
