title = "Using magnetic impact coating technique to prepare carbon nanotube-reinforced polymer nanocomposites",
abstract = "The efficiency of using the dry coating process to produce polymer/CNT nanocomposites with improved mechanical and thermal properties was evaluated. A Linear Low density Polyethylene (LLDPE) in a powder form was used as the matrix material. The polymer powder was mixed with 0.25wt%, 0.5wt% and 1wt% of MWCNTs by the simultaneous deagglomerating and coating actions of the magnetic assisted impact coating device; the influence of the nanotube concentration and coating time on the mechanical properties and homogeneity of the nanocomposites were evaluated. The mechanical properties were determined in tension, and the morphology and homogeneity of the mixture were investigated through scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Significant increases in elastic moduli and strengths were observed with respect to the unfilled matrix material.",
