Mechanical and electrical properties of novel poly(ether ether ketone)/carbon nanotube/inorganic fullerene-like WS2 hybrid nanocomposites: Experimental measurements and theoretical predictions

- The mechanical properties of PEEK based hybrid nanocomposites were analyzed.
- The composites showed improved stiffness and strength than the neat polymer.
- Their Young's modulus was fairly well predicted by simple theoretical models.
- The hybrids with high SWCNT content exhibited semiconducting behaviour.
- These multifunctional materials are suitable for industrial applications.
