A melt processing route was successfully applied in the manufacturing of aligned multi-wall carbon nanotube/isotactic polypropylene (MWCNT-iPP) composites. As high as 25 wt% content of the catalytic Chemical Vapour Deposition (c-CVD) derived nanotube filler could be introduced into the iPP matrix. The composite was characterised by a practically retained nanotube alignment as well as an enhanced crystallisation of iPP. Analysis of the phase iPP composition in the composite using XRD and DSC revealed a dominating a-phase with polymer molecules uniaxially oriented in the same direction as the nanotube alignment. Furthermore, kinetic in situ Synchrotron XRD studies verified that the enhanced crystallisation was induced mainly by shear stress occurring in the initial stage of infiltration MWCNT arrays by flowing molten polymer and, to a lesser extent, by the template-based growth of iPP crystallites.
