Application of Carbon Nanotubes from Waste Plastics As Filler to Epoxy Resin Composite

https://doi.org/10.1021/acssuschemeng.1c07776 “Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are promising nanofillers to enhance the mechanical performance of polymers. Through catalytic conversion, waste plastics can be converted into CNTs, which could be an alternative to commercial CNTs (cCNTs). Exploring a practical application of waste-plastic-derived CNTs will largely promote the technology development related to waste plastic management and CNT production. In…
