Technical Paper - Novel nanocomposites prepared by melt mixing of MWCNTs in a hot-melt adhesive PCL-based polyurethane are investigated. The nucleating effect of MWCNTs and the confinement they cause to polymer chains are considered. The broadening of the glass transition is indicative of a growth of the immobilized amorphous fraction adhered to MWCNTs. In the molten state the formation of a combined polymer/MWCNT...
