MWCNT Polymer Nano Composites for Piezoresistivity and percolation—Principles and ApplicationsCarbon for Sensing Devices

Nano composites (NC) are a class of materials widely investigated in the last decade. NC has broadened significantly to encompass a large variety of systems such as one-dimensional, two-dimensional, three-dimensional and amorphous materials, made of distinct dissimilar components and mixed at the nanometer scale. The general class of organic/inorganic NC materials is a fast growing area of research. The properties of NCs depend not only on the properties of their individual component, but also on their morphology and interface characteristics. The large interface area between the matrix and the nano filler is a key issue for NCs.
