Abstract

This study used a new and simple processing route to incorporate multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) into a polymer matrix via in-situ interfacial polymerization and electrospinning. Poly(hexamethylene sebacamide) (nylon 610)/MWCNT composites were prepared using two liquid phases containing the reactants and MWCNT. One phase contained a solution of sebacoyl chloride in carbon tetrachloride and the other contained a solution of hexamethylenediamine and MWCNT in water, which was prepared by sonication with a surfactant. Electrospinning of the composite solution produced fibers with well embedded MWCNT. We investigated morphology of individual MWCNT incorporating in nylon 610 fibers by scanning electron microscopy and transmssion electron microscopy and the electrical conductivity of the electro spun nylon 610 fibers with MWCNT.
