Abstract
An equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation
is applied to investigate the thermal properties of a singlewalled carbon nanotube/poly(phenylenesulfone) as nanocomposite material. Cohesive energy density and the Hildebrand solubility parameter of pure poly
(phenylenesulfone) and nanocomposite are calculated to
compare the thermal analysis of them. The results indicate
that carbon nanotube/poly(phenylenesulfone) nanocomposites are thermally stable than pure poly(phenylenesulfone); however, poly(phenylenesulfone) is a thermally
stable polymer. This means carbon nanotube can further
improve thermal properties of thermally stable polymer.
