    Effect of Functionalized MWCNT on the Mechanical and Dielectric Properties of PMMA Nanocomposites

    Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are widely explained in fundamental blocks of nanotechnology. These CNTs exhibit much greater tensile strength than steel, even almost similar to copper, but they have higher ability to carry much higher currents, they seem to be a magical material with all these mentioned properties. In this paper, an attempt has been made to incorporate this wonder material, CNT, (with varying percentages) in polymeric matrix (Poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA)) to create a new conductive polymer composite. Various mechanical tests were carried out to evaluate its mechanical properties. The dielectric properties such as dielectric loss and dielectric constant were evaluated with the reference of temperature and frequency. The surface structures were analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).
