compared with Figure 2c. Therefore, it can be noted that the<br />

nanocomposites fabricated by the SOAM method showed better<br />

MWNTs dispersion and stronger polymer-MWNTs interfacial force than<br />

those obtained by means of solution blending and melt mixing,<br />

respectively. Figure 2d shows a TEM micrograph of a nanocomposite<br />

with 2 wt% MWNTs produced using the SOAM method. Individual<br />

MWNTs were randomly dispersed within the PBS matrix, and are<br />

oriented toward the ultratoming direction as well. Because they are<br />

affected by a strong shear force during additional melt mixing, shorter<br />

nanotubes can be seen in some locations.<br />

3. 3. Thermal behavior<br />

Figure 3 shows representative TGA thermograms of the PBS/MWNTs<br />

nanocomposites prepared by the SOAM method. It is evident that the<br />

thermal stability was remarkably enhanced with the addition of MWNTs.<br />

This is attributed to not only the uniform dispersion of MWNTs within<br />

the PBS matrix but also the excellent thermal property of the MWNTs<br />

themselves. In case of 5 % weight loss, the degradation temperature of<br />

all nanocomposites produced via the SOAM method exhibited an<br />
