Development of Carbon Nanotube (CNT)-philic surfactant design for latex technology (IR)

The aim of this study is to investigate the roles played by the chemical nature of the CNT-philic surfactant for dispersing MWCNTs in polymer matrix. In this respect, the performance of single-, double-, and triple- chain anionic sulphosuccinate surfactants for the dispersion of MWNCTs in natural ru...

In this respect, the performance of single-, double-, and triple- chain anionic sulphosuccinate surfactants for the dispersion of MWNCTs in natural rubber latex (NR-latex) via latex technology was studied using a range of techniques, including field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Raman spectroscopy.
