Abstract
Raman spectral shifts of single-wall carbon nanotubes embedded in polymer s ystems were used to measure transitions in polymers. Glass-transition tempe ratures and secondary transitions were observed, and Raman spectroscopic da ta were compared with dynamic mechanical tests for a thermosetting and a th ermoplastic polymer. The data confirm that the Raman spectral response of c arbon nanotubes embedded in polymers is sensitive to polymer transitions. ( C) 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
