Abstract:
Thermoplastic polyurethane/graphene nanocomposites were successfully prepared by mixing masterbatches with neat polymers using the melt compounding process. Graphene was obtained from graphite by the chemical mean. Graphite was initially converted into graphite oxide which was then converted to graphene oxide. Graphene oxide was then reduced by L-ascorbic acid to obtain graphene. The effects of graphene addition on thermal and morphological properties of nanocomposite were studied by a differential scanning calorimeter, a thermal gravimetric analyzer and a scanning electron microscope. TPU/graphene nanocomposites showed higher melting temperature compared to TPU. On the other hand, heat of fusion of nanocomposites was lowered. TPU and TPU/graphene nanocomposites have two steps of decomposition. The first degradation of TPU occurred at higher temperature compared with nanocomposites but the second degradation showed the opposite results. The percentage of residue after thermal degradation of nanocomposites was lower than that of TPU. For surface morphology, nanocomposite exhibited the rougher surface comparing with TPU and well graphene dispersion in TPU phase was achieved. Nevertheless, there were some agglomeration of graphene.

Abstract:
Tribo-mechanical properties of pure thermoplastic polyurethane and functionalized monolayer graphene-reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane polymer nanocomposites are investigated by molecular dynamics simulations. Initially, the mechanical properties of the thermoplastic polyurethane and functionalized monolayer graphene-reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane nanocomposites are measured by applying constant stain method. Subsequently, interfacial layer models are developed to apply confined shear on the iron layers to find out the coefficient of friction and the abrasion rate of pure thermoplastic polyurethane and functionalized monolayer graphene-reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane nanocomposites. The results imply that by the incorporation of 0.5 wt.% functionalized monolayer, graphene shows the increase of 20% in Young’s modulus, 15% in shear modulus and 6.66% in bulk modulus of pure thermoplastic polyurethane, respectively, which are in good agreement with the previous experimental studies. Maximum enhancement of mechanical properties can be obtained up to 3 wt.% addition of functionalized monolayer graphene addition in thermoplastic polyurethane matrix. Further, it is observed that 3 wt.% of functionalized monolayer graphene-reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane nanocomposite results in minimum coefficient of friction (0.42) and abrasion rate (19%) under constant normal load (5 kcal/mol/Å) and maximum sliding velocity (11 m/s). However, further reduction in minimum values of coefficient of friction and abrasion rate at 3 wt.% of functionalized monolayer graphene-reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane nanocomposites is seen under the minimum sliding velocity (1 m/s) considered with the same normal load condition. Finally, the inherent mechanisms for enhancement of tribo-mechanical properties in functionalized monolayer graphene-reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane nanocomposites are analysed by the atomic density profile, free volume and Connolly surface at the atomic level.

Abstract:
Multi-walled carbon-nanotubes (MWCNTs) were melt-mixed with three different thermoplastic matrices (polypropylene, PP, polycarbonate, PC, and thermoplastic polyurethane, TPU) to produce nanocomposites with three different filler contents (1, 3, and 5 wt.%). Initial nanocomposite blends (in the shape of pellets) were tested under differential scanning calorimetry to evaluate the effect of the melt mixing stage. Nanocomposite samples were produced by compression moulding in a laboratory-scale system, and were tested with quasi-static (bending, indentation), and dynamic mechanical tests as well as with friction tests. The results showed the effect of the filler content on the mechanical and functional properties of the nanocomposites. Compression moulding appeared to be a valuable solution to manufacture thermoplastic nanocomposites when injection moulding leads to loss of performance. MWCNT-filled thermoplastics could be used also for structural and functional uses despite, the present predominance of electrical applications.

Abstract:
A series of nanoclay reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane with shape memory effect have been successfully synthesized via two-step polymerization process. The polyurethanes are composed of polycaprolactonediol, palm oil polyol, 4,4’-diphenylmethane diisocyanate and 1,4-butanediol. Nanoclay was added in order to improve the overall properties of the pristine polyurethane. Besides, the addition of palm oil polyol is believed to enhance the crosslinking process and further improve the properties. X-ray diffraction result showed that there is a decrease in crystallinity of polyurethane nanocomposites as clay is added. Good shape memory and mechanical properties of resulting polyurethane nanocomposites were obtained in this work.

Abstract:
Thermoplastic polyurethanes are versatile polymers much used for biomedical applications due to their mechanical properties and biocompatibility. Like most implantable materials they are susceptible to bacterial colonization, particularly in applications at high risk of bacterial contamination such as percutaneous catheters. The objective of this study was to assess the antibacterial activity and the cell responses to a series of nanocomposite variants fabricated from a polyether polyurethane and organically modified silicates containing either antibacterial dispersing agents, non-antibacterial dispersing agents, or combinations of the two. The results suggest that co-modification is a promising approach for modulating both bacterial and mammalian cell responses to achieve appropriate antibacterial properties without cell inhibition.

Abstract:
In the production of polymer nanocomposites, the processing method determines the dispersion of the nanofiller and hence, the final nanocomposite properties. In this work, the potential of high energy milling of the organofluoromica to improve the platelet dispersion and exfoliation in both solvent cast and melt processed thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)/organofluoromica nanocomposites was investigated. The potential of high energy milling of the organofluoromica to improve the platelet dispersion and exfoliation in both solvent cast and melt processed thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)/organofluoromica nanocomposites was investigated. The applied high energy milling process has successfully reduced this nanofiller platelet length from 640 nm to 400 nm and 250 nm after 1 hour and 2 hours respectively. These lower aspect ratio milled nanofillers resulted in improved quality of dispersion and delamination when incorporated into the TPU and hence interacted more preferentially with the TPU matrix.

Abstract:
This study focuses on the preparation of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) nanocomposite using Vietnamese montmorillonite (MMT) as the reinforced phase. The MMT was previously modified by intercalating polyethylene oxide (PEO) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) molecules between the clay layers. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results of organoclays revealed that galleries of MMT were increased to 18.2 Å and 27 Å after their intercalation with PEO and PVA, respectively. Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) nanocomposites composed of 1, 3, 5, and 7%wt organoclays were synthesized. The result of XRD and transmission electron microscopic (TEM) analyses implied that the PEO modified MMT was well dispersed, at 3%wt, in polyurethane matrix. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopic (FTIR) has confirmed this result by showing the hydrogenous interaction between the urethane linkage and OH group on the surface of silicate layer. Thermogravimetric (TG) showed that the organoclay samples also presented improved thermal stabilities. In addition, the effects of the organoclays on mechanical performance and water absorption of the PU nanocomposite were also investigated.

Abstract:
This thesis is concerned with fused filament fabrication (FFF) of cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) nanocomposites, focusing on preliminary optimization of a processing window for 3D printing of mechanically responsive composites and the influence of temperature on mechanical adaptivity, thermal stability, and rheology. CNC thermoplastic nanocomposites are a water responsive, mechanically adaptive material that has been gaining interest in additive manufacturing for 4D-printing applications. Using a desktop FlashForge Pro 3D printer, we first established a viable processing window for a nanocomposite comprising 10 wt% CNCs in a thermoplastic urethane (TPU) matrix, formed into a filament through the combination of masterbatch solvent casting and single screw extrusion. Printing temperatures of 240, 250, and 260°C and printing speeds of 600, 1100, and 1600 mm/min instituted a consistent 3D-printing process that produced characterizable CNC/TPU nanocomposite samples. To distinguish the effects of these parameters on the mechanical properties of the printed CNC/TPU samples, a design of experiments (DOE) with two factors and three levels was implemented for each combination of printing temperature and speed. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) highlighted 43 and 66% increases in dry-state storage moduli values as printing speed increases for 250 and 260°C, respectively. 64 and 23% increases in dry-state storage moduli were also observed for 600 and 1100 mm/min, respectively, as temperature decreased from 260 to 250°C. For samples printed at 240°C and 1600 mm/min, it was determined that that parameter set may have fallen out of the processing window due to inconsistent deposition and lower dry-state storage moduli than what the slower speeds exhibited. As a result, the samples printed at 240°C did not follow the same trends as 250 and 260°C. Further analysis helped determine that the thermal energy experienced at the higher end printing temperatures coupled with the slower speeds decreased the dry-state storage moduli by nearly 50% and lead to darker colored samples, suggesting CNC degradation. Isothermal thermogravimetric analyses (TGA) demonstrated that the CNC/TPU filament would degrade at relative residence times in the nozzle for all the chosen printing temperatures. However, degradation did not eliminate the samples' ability to mechanically adapt to a moisture-rich environment. DMA results verified that mechanical adaptivity was persistent for all temperature and speed combinations as samples were immersed in water. However, for the higher temperatures and slower speeds, there was about a 15% decrease in adaptability. Optimal parameters of 250°C and 1600 mm/min provided the highest dry-state storage modulus of 49.7 +/- 0.5 MPa and the highest degree of mechanical adaptivity of 51.9%. To establish the CNC/TPU nanocomposite's use in 4D printing applications, shape memory analysis was conducted on a sample printed at the optimal parameters. Multiple wetting, straining, and drying steps were conducted to highlight 76% and 42% values for shape fixity and shape recovery, respectively. Furthermore, a foldable box was printed to serve as an example of a self-deployable structure application. The box displayed shape fixity and recovery values of 67% and 26%, respectively, further illustrating significant promise and progress for CNC/TPU nanocomposites in 4D-printed, shape adaptable structures. Further analysis of the effect of degradation during FFF of the CNC/TPU nanocomposite was conducted using rotational rheometry, Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and polymer swelling experiments. A temperature ramp from 180 to 270°C showed a significant increase in complex viscosity (h*) at the chosen printing temperatures (240, 250, and 260°C). Moreover, h* of neat TPU suddenly increases at 230°C, indicating a potential chemical crosslinking reaction taking place. 20-minute time sweeps further verified that h* increases along with steady increases in storage (G') and loss (G'') moduli. From these results, it was hypothesized that crosslinking is occurring between CNCs and TPU. Preliminary characterization with FTIR was used to probe the molecular structure of thermally crosslinked samples. At 1060 and 1703 cm-1, there are significant differences in intensities (molecular vibrations) as the temperature increases from 180 to 260°C related to primary alcohol formation and hydrogen bonded carbonyl groups, respectively. The hypothesis is the disassociation of TPU carbamate bonds into soft segments with primary alcohols and hard segments with isocyanate groups. The subsequent increasing peaks at 1060 and 1703 cm-1 may indicate crosslinking of CNCs with these disassociated TPU segments. To quantify potential crosslinking, polymer swelling experiments were implemented. After being submerged in dimethylformamide (DMF) for 24 hours, CNC/TPU samples thermally aged for 15 minutes at 240, 250, and 260°C retained their filament shape and did not dissolve. The 240 and 250°C aged samples had relatively similar crosslink densities close to 900 mole/cm3. However, from 250 to 260°C, there was about a 36% increase in crosslink density. These results suggest that crosslinking is occurring at these printing temperatures because both CNCs and TPU are thermally degrading into reactive components that will lead to covalent crosslinks degradation. Additional characterization is needed to further verify the chemical structure of these CNC/TPU nanocomposites which would provide significant insight for CNC/TPU processing and 3D printing into tunable printed parts with varying degrees of crosslinking.
Master of Science
This thesis is concerned with the development of a processing window for mechanically adaptive cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) nanocomposites with fused filament fabrication (FFF) and, evaluating the influence of elevated temperatures on the mechanical, thermal, and rheological properties of said nanocomposite. CNC thermoplastic nanocomposites are a water responsive, mechanically adaptive material that has been gaining interest in additive manufacturing for 4D-printing. Using a desktop 3D-printer, an initial processing window for a 10 wt% CNC in TPU was established with printing temperatures of 240, 250, and 260°C and printing speeds of 600, 1100, and 1600 mm/min. A design of experiments (DOE) was implemented to determine the effects of these parameters on the mechanical properties and mechanical adaptability of printed CNC/TPU parts. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) suggests that combinations of higher temperatures and lower speeds result in reduced storage moduli values for printed CNC/TPU parts. However, mechanical adaptation, or the ability to soften upon water exposure, persists for all the printed samples. Additionally, there was significant discolorations of the printed samples at the higher temperature and slower speed combinations, suggesting thermal degradation is occurring during the printing process. The decrease in storage moduli and discoloration is attributed to thermal energy input, as thermogravimetric analysis indicated thermal degradation was indeed occurring during the printing process regardless of printing temperature. Using the parameters (250°C and 1600 mm/min) that displayed the superior mechanical properties, as well as mechanical adaptivity, shape memory analysis was conducted. The optimal printed part was able to hold 76% of the shape it was strained to, while recovering 42% of the original unstrained shape once immersed in water, indicating potential for shape memory and 4D-printing applications. Furthermore, a foldable box was printed with the optimal parameters and it displayed similar shape memory behavior, illustrating promise for CNC/TPU self-deployable shape adaptable structures. To further study the effect of degradation on the CNC/TPU system, melt flow properties, molecular structure, and polymer swelling were investigated. At the printing temperatures (240, 250, and 260°C), the complex viscosity of the CNC/TPU filament experienced an exponential increase, indicating potential network formation between the CNCs and TPU. Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) highlighted changes in the molecular structure for the CNC/TPU filament as temperature increased from 240 to 260°C, which suggests that chemical structure changes are occurring because of degradation. The hypothesis is TPU is disassociated into free soft and hard segments that the CNCs can covalently crosslink with, which can potentially be explained by the increases in the FTIR intensities relating to TPU and CNC's chemical structure. To further quantify potential crosslinking between CNCs and TPU, polymer swelling experiments were implemented. The results from these experiments suggest that increasing printing temperatures from 240 to 260°C will lead to higher degrees of crosslinking. Further investigation could yield the validity of this crosslinking and additional optimization of FFF printing with CNC/TPU nanocomposites.

Abstract:
This dissertation focuses on the versatility and integrity of a novel, ultrasoft polycarbonate polyurethane (PCPU) by the introduction of nanoparticles and lithium salts. Additionally, the research takes into account the use of electrospinning as a technique to create PCPU and polyimide (PI) fibers. These polymers are of interest as they offer a wide range of properties and uses within the medical and industrial fields. An industrial batch of an ultrasoft thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) was synthesized using a two-step process. The first was to create an end capped pre-polymer from methylene bis (4-cyclohexylisocyanate), and a polycarbonate polyol made up of 1,6- hexanediol and 3-methyl-1,5-pentanediol. The second step was done by reacting the pre-polymer with an excess of the polycarbonate polyol with a chain extender, 1,4-butanediol. Biocompatibility testing such as USP Class VI, MEM Elution Cytotoxicity and Hemolysis toxicology reported that PCPU showed no toxicity. This novel type of polyurethane material targets growing markets of biocompatible polymers and has been used for peristaltic pump tubing, but also can be utilized as balloon catheters, enteral feeding tubes and medical equipment gaskets and seals. This material is ideal for replacing materials such as soft plastisols containing diethylhexyl phthalate for use in biomedical and industrial applications. After extensive characterization of this polymer system another dimension was added to this research. The addition of nanoparticles and nanofillers to polyurethane can express enhanced mechanical, thermal and adhesion properties. The incorporation of nanoparticles such as nanosilica, nanosilver and carbon black into polyurethane materials showed improved tensile strength, thermal performance and adhesion properties of the PCPU. Samples were characterized using contact angle measurements, Fourier transform spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), parallel plate rheology and tensile testing. The second chapter entails the fabrication and characterization of PCPU nanofibers and nanomembranes through a process known as electrospinning. The resulting PCPU nanomembranes showed a crystalline peak from the WAXS profile which is due to electrospun and solution strain induced crystallinity. The PCPU nanocomposite nanomembranes displayed increased thermal stability and an increase in tensile performance at higher weight percent. The nanomembranes were investigated using contact angle measurements, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), DSC, WAXS, SAXS and tensile testing. The final chapter focuses on investigating the rheological properties of PCPU/lithium electrolytes as well as transforming an unprocessable polyimide powder into a nanomembrane. The PCPU/ lithium composite electrolyte showed an increase in the activation energy and conductivity, while the PI/lithium showed increased conductivity over time. Dynamic mechanical analysis and four-point probe was used to investigate the samples.

Neste trabalho foram obtidos nanocompósitos contendo 0, 1, 2, 5 e 10% (m/m) de argila organofílica montmorilonita cloisite 30B, contendo terminações hidroxila, por processamento reativo entre um pré-polímero com terminações isocianato e o 1,4-butanodiol, utilizando-se um misturador fechado. Os resultados mostraram que os poliuretanos termoplásticos sintetizados foram obtidos com sucesso. A adição de montmorilonita nos TPUs ocasionou a formação de folhas de argila dispersas de maneira intercalada, parcialmente esfoliada, esfoliada e aglomerados na matriz do TPU. Com a adição da argila houve modificações nos comportamentos de cristalização, estabilidade térmcica e mecanismo de degradação, assim como um aumento nos valores de energia aparente de ativação deste processo. A mobilidade de alguns segmentos poliméricos também foi alterada com a adição da argila. Portanto modificações morfológicas e viscoelásticas foram observadas para os nanocompósitos em dependência da quantidade de argila organofílica empregada, assim como a adição da organoargila alterou o comportamento térmico do poliuretano termoplástico, tornando os nanocompósitos mais suscetíveis a mudanças nos processos de fusão e cristalização em função da exposição a temperaturas elevadas.
In this study, were obtained nanocomposites containing 0, 1, 2, 5 and 10% (w/w) of organophilic clay montmorillonite Cloisite 30B, containing hydroxyl terminations, by reactive processing between a prepolymer with isocyanate terminations and 1,4-butanediol, using a closed mixer. The analysis showed that the obtained thermoplastic polyurethanes were synthesized successfully. The addition of the montmorillonite in the TPUs resulted in the formation of sheets of clay dispersed in order intercalated, partially exfoliated, exfoliated and agglomerate in the TPU matrix. With the addition of clay there were changes in the behavior of crystallization, thermal stability and degradation mechanism, as well as an increase in the values of the apparent activation energy of this process. The mobility of certain polymer segments was also changed with the addition of the clay. Therefore viscoelastic and morphological changes were observed in the nanocomposites in dependence on the amount of organophilic clay used, as well as the addition of the organophilic decreased the thermal stability of the thermoplastic polyurethane, making nanocomposites more susceptible to changes in the melting and crystallization processes due to exposure to elevated temperatures.

Abstract:
Interference and chaos among the various electromagnetic signals are becoming the primary challenge of the current era that relies on wireless communication. Electromagnetic pollution is the overabundance of electromagnetic radiation emitted by electronic devices, like cell phones, cordless phones, Wi-Fi routers, or Bluetooth-enabled equipment, and our relationship with these devices has become more and more intimate. The potential effects of electromagnetic pollution, both in terms of its interaction with electronic devices as well as biological species, are serious concerns for the research community. EMI shielding reduces electromagnetic interference among the electronic components. Therefore, protection from such harmful radiations must be acquired by either blocking or shielding these unavoidable severe electromagnetic radiations. Metals have been typically used as the material of choice for shielding applications, but heavy weight, corrosion susceptibility, and cumbersome processing methods make them unsuitable for both researchers and users. Alternatively, polymer nanocomposites have gained tremendous attention as electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials owing to their facile synthesis, ease of processing, and low cost. Different thermoplastic and thermoset polymer matrices have been explored for the development of lightweight composite material for EMI shielding applications. Among the thermoplastic polymers, thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU) have attracted a great deal of recognition due to their combination of properties, such as flexibility, stretchability, transparency, good wear and weather resistance, better abrasion and chemical resistance, and better mechanical properties. Although graphene and carbon nanotubes have been explored as conducting fillers in polyurethane matrix for the development of EMI shields, no reports are available using a combination of these fillers along with magnetic nanoparticles in thermoplastic polyurethane matrix.

Abstract:
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation-based development of heat resistance nanocomposite materials for nanoheat transfer devices (like nanoheat exchanger) and applications have been studied. In this study, MD software (Materials Studio) has been used to know the heat transport behaviors of the graphene-reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane (Gr/TPU) nanocomposite. The effect of graphene weight percentage (wt%) on thermal properties (e.g., glass transition temperature, coefficient of thermal expansion, heat capacity, thermal conductivity, and interface thermal conductance) of Gr/TPU nanocomposites has been studied. Condensed-phase optimized molecular potentials for atomistic simulation studies (COMPASS) force field which is incorporated in both amorphous and forcite plus atomistic simulation modules within the software are used for this present study. Layer models have been developed to characterize thermal properties of the Gr/TPU nanocomposites. It is seen from the simulation results that glass transition temperature (Tg) of the Gr/TPU nanocomposites is higher than that of pure TPU. MD simulation results indicate that addition of graphene into TPU matrix enhances thermal conductivity. The present study provides effective guidance and understanding of the thermal mechanism of graphene/TPU nanocomposites for improving their thermal properties. Finally, the revealed enhanced thermal properties of nanocomposites, the interfacial interaction energy, and the free volume of polymer nanocomposites are examined and discussed.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper reports on the 3D printing of flexible and stretchable parts based on multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/polyester-based thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) nanocomposites. The rheological properties of the MWCNT/TPU nanocomposites with different wt.% of MWCNTs (0.1–3) were determined and used as guidance for the extrusion and 3D printing processes. MWCNT/TPU filaments were extruded and used for 3D printing of different flexible and stretchable parts. The mechanical, electrical, and piezoresistive response of the MWCNT/TPU nanocomposite filaments and 3D printed parts under static and monotonic loading was studied. The experimental results show that with increasing temperature and shear rate, respectively, the shear viscosity of the MWCNT/TPU nanocomposite decreases, whereas the viscosity increases with increasing wt.% of MWCNTs. With the addition of MWCNTs, the elastic modulus and tensile strength of the feedstock filament all increase, enhancing the printability of TPU by increasing the buckling resistance and the stability of the 3D printed layer. The electrical conductivity of the 3D printed MWCNT/TPU nanocomposites increases with increasing wt.% of MWCNTs and exceeds the conductivity of the filaments. The 3D printed MWCNT/TPU nanocomposites with 3 wt.% show an electrical conductivity about 10 S/m, irrespective of the printing direction. Moreover, the 3D printed MWCNT/TPU nanocomposites exhibit good mechanical properties and high piezoresistive sensitivity with gauge factor (50–600) dependent on both strain and printing direction.

Abstract:
As the soft robotics industry continues to grow, the need for new materials and simplified manufacturing techniques are essential. Of interest is the development of highly flexible strain sensors that are easily integrated into these robotic components. Current strain sensing solutions using piezoresistive materials often involve complex fabrication techniques with multiple steps. Recent work by the authors has shown that thermoplastic polyurethane/multiwall carbon nanotubes (TPU/MWCNT) has good piezoresistive behavior and can be easily fabricated into strain sensors using Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM). This work expands upon that effort to characterize the mechanical properties of FDM-printed TPU/MWCNT as a function of the FDM processing parameters. In this study, the air gap, raster orientation, and MWCNT weight percent were varied and tensile tests performed. The stress-strain behavior, modulus of elasticity, and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) are compared to assess the influence of the processing conditions. Optical microscopy was also carried out to correlate the mechanical behavior to the printed mesostructures. The results show that with increased MWCNT content, the UTS decreased by as much at 47% for 2wt.%MWCNT, while the modulus of elasticity increased by 54%, compared to those of pure TPU. The results of this work provide an understanding of the mechanical performance in relation to the print parameters and sets the base to tune the mechanical properties of printed flexible functional nanocomposites.

Abstract:
This study focuses on the characterization of a porous multifunctional elastomer-CNT nanocomposites for potential use as pressure sensors. A thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) was chosen as an elastomeric matrix, which was reinforced with multiwall carbon nanotubes (0–10 wt%) by high shear twin screw extrusion mixing. Porosity was introduced to the composites through the phase separation of a single TPU-CO2 solution. Interactions between MWNT and TPU were elucidated through calorimetry, gravimetric decomposition, conductivity measurements and microstructure imaging. The piezoresistance (pressure-resistance) behavior of the nanocomposites was investigated and found to be dependent on MWNT concentration and nanocomposite microstructure.
