dc.description.abstract | We investigated polyurethane (PU)–carbon nanotube (CNT) nanocomposites (PU/CNT) in a range of concentrations from 1 to 8 wt% CNT as hot melt adhesives. We studied the thermal properties of the nanocomposites, which is relevant from an applied point of view. The phase angle plots versus complex modulus results revealed the existence of a maximum above a given CNT concentration. The intensity of the peak and associated relaxation time was analyzed with percolation theory, leading to a new method to determine the rheological percolation threshold. A lower threshold value was obtained from the electrical conductivity data, which was justified recalling that the hopping/tunnelling effect takes place in the nanocomposite, as stated by previous studies in the literature. Joule effect studies indicated that the heating effect was very significant, reaching temperature increases, ΔT, of 60 °C for low voltages. For the first time, the percolation equation was applied to the ΔT to obtain the corresponding threshold. Stimulus-responsive systems were conceived considering the correlation between the ΔT and the conductivity. The case of PU/CNT nanocomposites acting as hot melt adhesives that are welded/unglued by applying/removing an electrical voltage is presented. | es_ES |
