The influence of carbon nanotube geometry and morphology on complex permittivity (both ɛ′ and ɛ″) was investigated. In a dilute complex system, it was found that single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) composites can obtain a higher relative dielectric permittivity due to the largest length/diameter aspect ratio (A.

Abstract Resins and crosslinking agents have been used on textiles for a long time for various purposes. Fiber blend fabrics have a propensity to pill, thereby giving garments a spoiled surface appearance. The pilling should be reduced or prevented by application of an appropriate finishing method.
