Quantitative optical analysis of filler dispersion degree in MWCNT–epoxy nanocomposite
Source abstract
Abstract
Recently developed methodology of quantitative analysis based on optical analysis of filler particles' area distributions is applied now to estimate the dispersion efficiency of multiwall carbon nanotubes in nanocomposite prepared by solution intercalation method. Experimental parameters of dispersing (temperature, duration and power level of ultrasonication) were optimized and the most effective experimental procedure was determined. The methodology of determination of dispersion parameter is proved by indirect method of light transmittance experiments. The nanocomposite specimens having lower dispersion parameter represented the highest transmittance over the nanocomposite specimens. 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All
