Dyeing of Polyester with Pristine Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes

Iliya, E.B.*, Kotek R

Pristine Multiwalled Carbon nanotubes (MWNT) were dispersed in two selected surfactants and their mixture using a probe sonicator at room temperature. The results presented in this article apply only to the short-length MWNT. The dispersions achieved generally ranged from very poor to average. In the average category, the solvents ranked o-Dichloro...
