Abstract

The crystallization of uniaxial hot drawn syndiotactic polystyrene/multi-walled carbon nanotube (sPS/MWCNT) nanocomposite films was studied by FTIR spectroscopy. The effects of MWCNT content, draw ratio and drawing temperature on the sPS crystallinity were investigated. The sPS/MWCMT nanocomposite films show reduced crystallinities with the increase of MWCNT content. In addition, with the increase of draw ratio, both the pure sPS and the sPS/MWCNT nanocomposite drawn films exhibit increased crystallinity. The effect of drawing temperature on the sPS crystallization is complex. In a temperature range of 100-135 °C, the crystallinity decreases with drawing temperature, whereas it increases at 140 °C for both pure sPS and its nanocomposite films.
