Abstract
Availability of a stable carbon nanotube suspension is a prerequisite for
production of polymer composites with carbon nanotube as additives. In this work
nanotube suspensions, which have been prepared from various nanotubes in different
dispersion agents, were compared. Dispersibility of the samples was investigated by
scanning electon microscopy and atomic force microscopy. Solution of a non-ionic
surfactant was also used successfully as a new dispersion agent. Geometrical parameters
of the carbon nanotubes were determined by using atomic force microscopy. Correlation
was found between the dispersibility and the parameters of the nanotubes and relative
permittivity of the different solvents.
