Abstract
A new protocol is proposed for quantitatively characterizing the dispersion state of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) embedded in a composite. Such characterization will allow CNT-filled composites to be designed and tailored in more systematic manner. CNTs/polymer composites with different dispersions and distribution states were prepared and their structure was examined. Quantitative image analysis was performed to obtain a “positional randomness index” that involves the contributions from the dispersion and distribution of nanoparticles.
