Abstract
Carbon nanotube (CNT) has been synthesized using camphor oil as a starting material via two-stage catalytic chemical vapor deposition. The as-synthesized CNT was then incorporated into acrylate matrix by suspension polymerization method, using various loading of CNT (as a filler) varied from 0.2 to 1.0 g with 0.2 g weight interval in the nanocomposite thin film. The acrylate/CNT nanocomposite thin film was characterized using micro-Raman, ultraviolet-visible and impedance spectrometer. As confirmed, the various loading of CNT had a significant impact on structural, optical and impedance characteristics. The paper contributes the recent achievements in material progress of CNT/polymer nanocomposite.
