Nanotubes (MWCNT) on
polyhdroxybutyrate nanocomposites
Both the sample and reference are maintained at nearly the same temperature
throughout the experiment. Generally, the temperature program for a DSC
analysis is designed such that the sample holder temperature increases linearly
as a function of time. The reference sample should have a well-defined heat
capacity over the range of temperatures to be scanned.
This unimodal endotherm peak shows the absence of heterogeneous passage of crystal and
uniform crystal thickness created after reinforcement of MWCNT.
These results indicate that the MWCNT is an excellent nucleating agent for improving T m
in nanocomposites.
Increase in Tm
with Gr-NPs
Tan et.al.
2014
It was observed that 0.7% of MWCNT as the optimum concentration, and at this
concentration a 10-degree Celsius increase in melting point was observed in comparison
with the pristine PHB.
Orderly arrangement of MWCNTs Agglomeration of MWCNTs
Xu et.al.2015
Beyond 0.7% of MWCNT in the PHB matrix, the melting point found to decrease
portraying the agglomeration effect on the prepared nanocomposites.
