Carbon nanotube (CNT) filled polymer nanocomposites are increasingly regarded as a realistic alternative to conventional smart materials. In this paper, we studied the contact and bulk piezoresistive properties of multi-walled carbon nanotube/styrene butadiene styrene (MWNT/SBS) composite. Measurements of resistance change under pressure utilizing an Au plate PCB electrode and a sputtered Au layer electrode for same samples were implemented to examine bulk piezoresistivity of the composites and the influence of contact resistance. The results showed that the contact resistance responses to stress for separated electrodes are more remarkable than bulk resistance responses in the MWNT/SBS composite films, but not so stable.

The exceptional mechanical and thermal properties, conceivable with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) make a distinction of them as excellent choices for natural rubber nanocomposite reinforcement. Nigeria, in recent years, has been awash with foreign prostheses, many of which fail to meet the criteria of the International Society of Prosthetics and Orthotics (ISPO) for developing countries. However, there are major marked gaps that make them susceptibility to premature failure and dimensional instability, caused by a high rate of water absorption in a humid environment; owing to the dynamic nature of human gait. This paper critically examines the effect of water absorption, thermogravimetric and dynamic mechanical properties, on carbon nanotube-reinforced natural rubber nanocomposite (NC) for prosthetic foot application. CNTs were synthesised via catalytic chemical vapour deposition (CCVD) technique and the NCs were produced by using an electrically heated hydraulic press. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), water absorption rate and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) of the nanocomposites were carried out with a view to comparing the various compositions used in this paper. Of the five NCs developed (NR/MWCNT-0, NR/MWCNT-3, NR/MWCNT-6, NR/MWCNT-9, NR/MWCNT-12 and NR/MWCNT-15), NR/MWCNT-3 (3 g of MWCNT in 100 g of natural rubber) showed the highest thermal stability of 260 °C, optimal water absorption rate of 0.1% and highest quality energy storage and dissipation capacity, as indicated by 2.239 DMA loss factor curve amplitude, hence giving it a comfortable edge over its existing counterparts. The results of the various analyses carried out indicated, therefore, that reinforcing natural rubber with multi-walled carbon nanotube offers a reliable alternative material for the prosthetic industry.

Rubber finds wide range of application in automotive sector starting from tires to rubber bushes. Incorporation of nanoparticles like carbon nanotubes to rubber has improved the mechanical properties significantly. Still dispersion of carbon nanotube in raw rubber is a challenging process. In this work multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) are dispersed in the varying proportions (0.5, 1, 1.5 wt.%) in high viscous aromatic rubber processing oil using high shear planetary ball mill for a period of 2 hours. Then the rubber nanocomposites have been processed in double roll mill by adding the chemicals in the following order (Natural Rubber, Antioxidant: 1 phr, Oil: 5 phr, Zinc Oxide: 4 phr, Stearic Acid: 2 phr, Accelerator: 1 phr, Sulfur: 2 phr). It was found that, the incorporation of Multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) has improved the mechanical properties of natural rubber significantly. Din abrasion studies show improvement in wear resistance of natural rubber incorporated with multiwall carbon nanotube.
