Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were dispersed in a polycarbonate (PC) matrix in a solution system and the composite was characterised by wide-angle X-ray diffraction technique, differential scanning calorimetry, a mechanical testing equipment and by FTIR-spectroscopy. The results showed a 58% increase in Young's modulus of PC with the addition of 0.5-5 wt% SWCNTs to the polymer matrix. Changes in the x-ray diffraction patterns, heats of melting etc. of the composite system were measured and are correlated to the changes in crystallinity and other molecular parameters.

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
