Study of Dynamic Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Poly(Ether Ether Ketone) Carbon Nanotubes
Abstract: The effect of polyetherimide (PEI) as a compatibilizing agent on the morphology, thermal, electrical and dynamic-mechanical properties of poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK)/single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) nanocomposites, has been investigated for different CNT loadings. After a pre-processing step based on ball milling and premixing under mechanical treatments in ethanol, the samples were prepared by melt extrusion. A more homogeneous distribution of the CNTs throughout the matrix is found for composites containing …

Chromatography for Chemical Separation: Types and Uses
Abstract: Chromatography is an analytical tool that is used for separating a variety of chemical mixtures. This technique was developed somewhere during the 1940s to 1950s. Initially, the technique had low efficiency with prolonged time of analysis and reduced detection range. Later, the technique was modified and improved to meet the demands of chemical separation technology. Chromatography is broadly categorized into analytical or preparative. Analytical chromatography is used for small sample …
