Polypropylene-MWCNT degradation and Nanomaterials release

Published by U.S. EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) | U.S. Environmental Protection Agency | Catalog Last Checked: April 21, 2026 at 07:57 PM | Dataset Last Updated: August 01, 2017
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).
