Abstrakt: A two-step method was used to prepare carbon nanotube (CNT)/ethylene-vinylacetate copolymer (EVA)/polyethylene (PE) and CNT/polycarbonate (PC)/PE composites. First, CNT-EVA and CNT-PC master batches were obtained by solution-phase processing, and second, the CNT masterbatches were melt-mixed with PE. Phase morphological observation indicates that there is a marked decrease in the size of the dispersed particles in the composites. This finding is of practical significance to develop new polymer materials based on blending concept. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
