Carbon nanotubes composites for microwave applications

Abstract

Carbon nanotubes have become a focus of study due to the great applications you can have and its excellent properties. In this thesis the compounds formed by a host and a percentage of carbon nanotubes are modelled. The models used are the Debye model, the Maxwell Garnett model and McLachlan model. These models have been implemented in several scripts with the mathematical program Matlab. The purpose is to solve or approximate the unknown parameters of these models of a fast and accurate way because solving these models manually can become very complicated. On the other hand this thesis explains how to obtain statistical calculations with the program Graphpad Prism.
