N2 - A study was conducted on the temperature- and frequency-dependent behavior of polycarbonate-nanotube systems with different weight fractions of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs). The experimental results show that the effective viscoelastic behavior of the nanotube-reinforced samples were consistent with the presence of a non-bulk polymer phase with restricted molecular mobility within the nanotube reinforced polymer (NRP). It was believed that such results in the analysis of the effective viscoelastic behavior of nanotube-reinforced polymers provided by macroscale mechanical experiment can provide important information concerning the nanoscale interaction between the nanotubes and the polymer.
