Abstract

Nanocomposites with multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) mixed in a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) matrix were prepared by the melt processing method. Some mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties of the composites in relation to MWCNT concentration in them were investigated, and the results obtained are presented graphically.
