Abstract

A review of publications on polymer CNT nanocomposites mechanical properties is presented. A model of the polymer-CNT system using the Mori–Tanaka method is described. Mechanical properties of CNT- nanocomposites are shown to be mainly defined by the CNT distribution within the polymer matrix, not the intrinsic properties of nanotubes. CNT-containing systems based on polyamide and polycarbonate are thoroughly reviewed. Data on the effect of impurities size on mechanical properties of nanocomposites prepared by melt blending are provided. Data on the effect of CNTs on epoxy binders are provided. Nanotubes are shown to affect the degree of conversion during epoxy composite curing, nanocomposite glass point and matrix structure at the boundary layer near CNTs. Effect of functionalized and non-functionalized CNTs on mechanical properties of epoxy nanocomposites is considered. Work is executed within implementation of the complex scientific direction 15 « Nanostructured, amorphous mat
