Carbon Nanotubes tubes made of a single sheet of graphene (SingleWallNanoTube) or more sheets (MultiWallNanoTube) The regular geometry gives CNT excellent mechanical and electrical properties. CNT diameters are in the range 1 - 500 nm; CNT lengths can range from several µm to mm.

ElectroSpinning A high voltage is applied to the solution such that at a critical voltage, typically more than 5 kV, the repulsive force within the charged solution is larger than its surface tension and a jet would erupt from the tip of the spinneret. Nanofibres The formation of nanofibres through electrospinning is based on the uniaxial stretching of a viscoelastic solution.

CONCLUSIONS • Nanocomposites made with bioresorbable PCL matrix and CNSs were processed by solvent casting technique and electrospinning. • Objective: to analyze the effects of the incorporation of CNSs and their morphology on the Thermal, Mechanical and Electrical Properties • Hydrophobic surface induced by membrane process • CNSs serve the role of a plasticizer and a crystal nucleate, which enhances the polymer segmental mobility and facilitates the crystal packing simultaneously. • Elastic modulus increases significantly with introduction of CNSs in the polymer matrix. • An introduction of CNTs in the polymer matrix affects the electrical conductivity of the nanocomposite. • These studies suggest that the combination of biodegradable polymers and carbon nanostructures, opens in fact a new perspective in the self-assembly of nanomaterials and nanodevices with tunable mechanical and electrical properties.
