Finest nanocomposite films from carbon nanotube-loaded poly(methyl methacrylate) nanoparticles obtained by the Ouzo effect

Composite particles, i.e. PMMA nanoparticles trapping one to a few nanotubes in their core, were prepared by a derivative process of the solvent shifting technique, also called the Ouzo effect. Particles were converted by simple annealing into nanocomposite films, the thermal resistance of which was evidenced by microcalorimetry and thermogravimetry.
