Abstract
Experimental and theoretical rheology was used as a tool for characterization of hybrid structure of thermoplastic polymer nanocomposites filled with graphene and carbon nanotubes. Different rheological approaches were applied to evaluate the degree of nanofiller dispersion, the effect of nanofiller shape on viscosity, as well as the particle-particle and polymer-particle interactions. Rheological percolation threshold was proposed as important characteristic related to the reinforcement effects of nanofillers in polymer. Keywords: Graphene, Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes, Thermoplastic Polymers, Rheology, Percolation Threshold, Dispersity
