Magnetic Ionic Liquid: A Multifunctional Platform for the Design of Hybrid Graphene/Carbon Nanotube Networks as Electromagnetic Wave-Absorbing Materials.

Magnetic ionic liquid (MIL) based on alkyl phosphonium cation was used as a curing agent for developing epoxy nanocomposites (ENCs) modified with a graphene nanoplatelet (GNP)/carbon nanotube (CNT) hybrid filler. The materials were prepared by a solvent-free procedure involving ball-milling technology. ENCs containing as low as 3 phr of filler (GNP/CNT = 2.

Exploring the Effect of Annealing on PLA/Carbon Nanotube Nanocomposites: In Search of Efficient PLA/MWCNT Nanocomposites for Electromagnetic Shielding.

In this research, poly(lactic acid) (PLA) nanocomposites with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) were produced by extrusion, injection, and compression molding, focusing on electromagnetic shielding. Various amounts of carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were tested in PLA matrix, specifically ranging from 1 to 4 parts per hundred resin (phr). The resulting nanocomposites were analyzed before and after undergoing annealing heat treatment.
