Abstract

Multiwalled carbon nanotube/polyurethane (MWNT/PU) composites were prepared by electrospinning and solution casting. The morphological and thermal properties, and mechanical performance of the nanofiber and film composites were characterized and compared. The tensile strength of neat PU film was 9-fold higher than that of neat PU nanofibrous mat. The incorporation of MWNTs increased the tensile strength and modulus of the composite nanofibers by 69% and 140%, respectively, and 62% and 78%, respectively for composite films. The MWNT/PU composites showed an improved thermal degradation behavior, with the incorporation of low MWNT content in the composites.
