METHOD FOR MAKING POLYMERIC EXTRUDED COMPOSITE PRODUCTS AND CARBON NANOTUBES

摘要

The invention concerns a method for making polymeric extruded composite products and carbon nanotubes. Said method includes the following steps: a) performing an oxidation pretreatment of the carbon nanotubes; b) dispersing the nanotubes in a polymer solution; c) extruding the resulting dispersion into an intermediate product; d) drying said intermediate product; e) post-treating said dried intermediate product by hot drawing process; f) post-treating said dried intermediate product of said drawn intermediate product by drawing in an ionic solution; g) performing a formalizing treatment process: Steps e) f) and g) are optional. The extruded polymeric products obtained by the inventive method can contain up to 80 wt. % of nanotubes.
