N2 - Composites were prepared by using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and methyl-ethyl methacrylate copolymer, modified with nonionic surfactant to improve the carbon nanotube dispersion and workability. The thermal results show that the polymer glass transition temperature increases up to 10°C and that only 1 wt% CNT content improves the mechanical response by more than 200%, substantially above other reports where large quantities of CNTs were used.
