High performance composites containing perfluoropolyethers-functionalized carbon-based nanoparticles: Rheological behavior and wettability

For composites containing CB, the presence of PFPE is useful to prevent the CB re-aggregation but does not significantly affect the rheological behaviour. Finally, the UHMWPE-based composites containing CNTs-PFPE and CB-PFPE show tunable wettability, due to the inherent hydrophobicity of PFPE chains.
