Polymer composites with aligned carbon nanotubes for high performance

The purpose of this project was to investigate the effect of adding ferromagnetic CNT, under the influence of an externally applied magnetic field of 0.062 ± 0.003T, on reducing the electrical resistivity of a silicone polymer sample and also to increase the storage modulus of the same sample. Due t...
