Femtosecond and Nanosecond Laser Micromachining of Oxidized Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube Doped Morthane

From Mound Laser & Photonics Center, Inc.
 

 

New and innovative polymer composite materials are being developed to meet the increasing mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of materials within industries ranging from automotive to medical. As weight reduction, miniaturization, and further integration of structural, electrical, and aesthetic properties become prevalent, carbon nanocomposites have arrived to meet the requirements of the changing markets. A new set of polymer composite materials, based on the addition of carbon nanomaterials (nanotubes, nanofibers, bucky balls, etc.), is being developed. Carbon nanocomposites offer better thermal conductivity and structural strength over virgin polymer material1. Carbon doping of polymers has been a common engineering practice for many years.
