The discovery of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has opened up exciting opportunities for the development of novel materials with desirable properties. The superior mechanical properties and excellent electrical conductivity make CNTs a good filler material for composite reinforcement. However, the dispersal of CNTs in a polymer solution or melt is difficult due to their tendency to agglomerate. Many attempts have been made to fully utilize CNTs for the reinforcement of polymeric media. Therefore, different types of polymer/CNTs nanocomposites have been synthesized and investigated. This paper reviews the current progress in the preparation, properties and application of polyamide/CNTs (nylon/CNTs) nanocomposites. The effectiveness of different processing methods has increased the dispersive properties of CNTs and the amelioration of their poor interfacial bonding. Moreover, the mechanical properties are significantly enhanced even with a small amount of CNTs. This paper also discusses how reinforcement with CNTs improves the electrical thermal and optical properties of nylon/CNTs nanocomposites.

聚酰胺/碳纳米管纳米复合材料的制备，性能及应用

碳纳米管（CNTs）的发现为开发具有所需特性的新型材料开辟了令人兴奋的机遇。优异的机械性能和出色的导电性使CNTs成为复合增强材料的良好填充材料。但是，由于CNT易于团聚，因此难以将其分散在聚合物溶液或熔融物中。已经进行了许多尝试以充分利用CNT来增强聚合物介质。因此，已经合成和研究了不同类型的聚合物/ CNTs纳米复合材料。本文综述了聚酰胺/碳纳米管（尼龙/碳纳米管）纳米复合材料的制备，性能和应用方面的最新进展。不同加工方法的有效性提高了CNT的分散性能，并改善了它们不良的界面结合力。而且，即使使用少量的CNT，机械性能也显着提高。本文还讨论了用碳纳米管加固如何改善尼龙/碳纳米管纳米复合材料的电热和光学性能。
