Together with the neat copolymer, nanohybrids containing 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5 wt. % fSWCNTs were investigated. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) shows significant agglomeration of CNTs at 0.2% CNTs concentration. Tensile Young modulus as a function of concentration diagram has a maximum at 0.2% CNTs. Tensile elongation at break is the highest at 0.3% CNTs. Repetitive tensile tests were also performed; each loading cycle results in lowering the tensile modulus.enBrittlenessNanohybridsScratch resistanceSliding wearTensile testingTechnikIngenieurwissenschaftenConference PaperOther
