Preparation and Physical Properties of Polyethylene/Carbon Nanotubes/Nanosilver Composite

Abstract In this paper, nanosilver and carbon nanotubes was melt blended with HDPE and pet respectively to prepare HDPE/CNT/nanosilver and PET/CNT/nanosilver composites with antibacterial effect. After the preparation of samples, SEM, DSC, TGA, mechanical properties and antibacterial properties were tested. The possibility of preparing new materials by this method is studied. Compared with pure HDPE, when the content of CNT/nanosilver is 0.1 phr, the tensile strength of HDPE/CNT/nanosilver composite reach to the max value.
