Abstract
Disclosed is a composite material comprising PPTA (poly-p-phenyleneterephthalamide) and nanotubes having an aspect ratio of at least 100 and a cross-sectional diameter of 5 nm or less, the composite material containing up to 12 wt. % of nanotubes, obtainable by adding the nanotubes to sulfuric acid, decreasing the temperature to solidify the mixture, adding PPTA to the solid mixture, heating to above the solidifying point and mixing the mixture, and spinning, casting, or molding the mixture to the composite material.
