Title A name given to the resource Thermal Studies of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube Reinforced with Silicone Elastomer Nanocomposites Subject The topic of the resource Nano particle; Nanocomposites; Silicon rubber; Thermal properties; Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) Description An account of the resource This article studies the enhancement in the properties of silicon elastomer (SiR) reinforced by multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT). Multiwalled carbon nanotube filled silicone rubber composites were prepared. The effects of loading levels of MWCNT on the thermal properties of silicone elastomer were investigated. SEM studies reveal the smooth distribution of MWCNT in silicon matrix. At higher concentration nanoparticles collapse together to form agglomerates. The high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) photographs shows excellent/homogeneous distribution of MWCNT in silicon matrix and agglomeration occurs at higher concentrations. Thermal properties of nanocomposites have been characterized using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA). The transition temperature appears at below -25C for MWCNT reinforced SiR nanocomposites. TGA thermogram, shows that temperature at 10%, 20%, 30%, and 50% weight loss for SiR nanocomposites is higher than as compared to unfilled SiR. The results indicate that the addition of MWCNT significantly enhanced the thermal stability of silicon elastomer. 2018 Elsevier Ltd.
