Rheological and thermal behaviour of high impact polystyrene nanocomposite

This paper presents the study of rheological and thermal behaviour of high impact polystyrene/multiwall carbon nanotubes (HIPS/MWCNTs) nanocomposite. The nanocomposite was prepared via melt mixing method. The influence of different loadings of MWCNTs on the HIPS viscosity and other rheological ch...
