Abstract
CNT dispersion in polymer matrices uniformly remains a challenge. Uniform dispersion of carbon nanotube (CNT) within ultra-high molecular polyethylene (UHMWPE) solution is the first step to achieve CNT/UHMWPE fibres with excellent properties. Several approaches have been tried. Composite powder was acquired by coating CNT on UHMWPE powder, then, dissolved in decalin, through gel-spinning, higher stronger composite fibre is fabricated. 12 Refs.
