Abstract:
Recently, composites of polymers with various one-dimensional nanoparticles,
mainly carbon nanotubes, have been investigated to develop robust electrically and
thermally conductive materials or for mechanical reinforcement. One of the main obstacles
preventing realisation of these goals are difficulties achieving good dispersion of the
nanoparticles in the polymer matrix. In this thesis, novel composites prepared and their
electrical and mechanical properties are characterised.
