Abstract
Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) has been synthesized using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. Al e Layered Hydroxide (AleLH) and MWCNTs nanocomposites; (1-x) AleLH þ (x) MWCNTs, 0.0 x 1; have been synthesized using citrate nitrate assisted hydrothermal technique. The crystal structure and the functional groups of the prepared samples were examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) respectively. The layered structure seemed under the highresolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and the morphology was observed using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). Moreover, the synthesized nanocomposites were further characterized using Zeta potential, size analysis and Brunauere EmmetteTeller (BET) surface area which showed their different characteristics as the MWCNTs content is changed. Thermal gravimetric analysis assured the thermal stability of the nanocomposites over the temperature from room up to 480 C depending on the MWCNTs content. The obtained results revealed the improvement of all mechanical properties with the increase of MWCNTs content
