in situ polymerization method. SEM and TEM images showed that expanded graphite (EG) and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were well dispersed in PTT, suggesting that
in situ polymerization is a highly efficient method for preparing nanocomposites. Synergistic effect between single-walled carbon nanotubes and expanded graphite on improving mechanical and thermal properties of the prepared nanocomposites has been observed.
