Abstract
The creep-recovery behaviour of isotactic polypropylene-multi wall carbon nanotubes (PP/CNT) nanocomposites has been studied with long-term tensile test at dynamic mechanical analysis. The state of dispersion-distribution of nanocompositesis determined by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and also crystallinity of nanocomposites which is obtained by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to understand the carbon nanotube inclusion on the properties of nanocomposites. The specimen has been fabricated by injection molding with uniform sizes for tension film clamp of dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). Furthermore, the purity of CNTs has been obtained from RAMAN spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) as well. According to creep-recovery tests, the nanocomposites have shown an improvement in the properties of creep-recovery with increasing of CNT addition up to 1% weight fraction.
