ABSTRACT

At it is known [1], a carbon nanotubes (CNT) being in their production process form aggregates, consisting of tangled separate nanotubes. For this effect weaking the number of methods is used: CNT functionalization [2], processing by ultrasound [3] and so on. Besides, it is well-known [2, 4], that possessing high anisotropy degree and small transversal stiffness CNT form ring-like structures. It is naturally to expect, that the indicated effects will influence on CNT structure in polymer nanocomposites and these nanomaterials properties. The present communication purpose is the study of the processing by ultrasound influence of nanocomposites epoxy polymer/carbon nanotubes and CNT ring-like structure formation.
