Structural, optical, morphological and mechanical studies of polyethylene oxide/sodium alginate blend containing multi-walled carbon nanotubes

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes were added to mixture of polyethylene oxide (PEO)/sodium alginate (SA) (70/30 wt.%) films via the casting way. X-ray diffraction exhibited the amorphous behavior of the polymer samples, also showed a decrease in the crystalline ratio after the addition of Multi-walled c...
