Description

General description

The four relaxation process (α,β,γ,δ) of poly(cyclohexyl methacrylate) was studied by investigating its viscoelastic and dielectric properties over a range of temperatures.

Application

Poly(cyclohexyl methacrylate (PCHMA) may be used to prepare polymeric blends with polystyrene and nanocomposites with carbon nanotubes. Densely grafted PCHMA on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) composites exhibits better mechanical properties and electrical resistance compared to PCHMA blended CNTs composites.
