6.1 INTRODUCTION
In this chapter, carbon nanotubes (Appendix) structure in polymer nanocomposites was studied. It has been shown that this nanofiller feature is its “rolling up” in ring-like structures. This factor plays a crucial role in determination of nanocomposites structural and mechanical characteristics.
