Polypropylene-MWCNT degradation and Nanomaterials release

Degradation kinetics of nanocomposite in the environment. Nano-polymer composites are exposed to sunlight and oxidizing conditions that cause weathering of the polymers, leading to degradation and the release of nanoparticles.

This dataset is associated with the following publication: Han, C., E. Sahle-Demessie, A. Zhao, T. Richardson, and J. Wang. Environmental aging and degradation of multiwalled carbon nanotube reinforced polypropylene. CARBON. Pergamon Press Ltd., New York, NY, USA, 129: 137-151, (2018).
