Abstract Polymer nanocomposites including those containing carbon nanotubes appear to be of particular significance. Polymer nanocomposites based on thermoplastic poly(ether-ester) elastomer and carbon nanotubes have been prepared and investigated. The nanocomposites are obtained (in situ) by introducing the fillers into the reaction mixture and the synthesis of copolymer by polycondensation in the molten state. The nanotubes are dispersed in 1,4-butanediol by ultrasonication. Physical properties of the resulting nanocomposites are studied using the DSC, DMTA, SEM and mechanical tensile tests.
