Book excerpt: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with extraordinary mechanical, thermal and electrical properties have been considered one of the most promising filler candidates to manufacture electrically conductive polymer composites with improved mechanical properties. CNT modified thermoset polymer nanocomposites have recently opened up a new perception for researchers and thus become of significance in terms of creating new composite application areas. The understanding of the interphase region with respect to structure-property relationships are important to synthesizing nano-modified thermoset resins as matrix materials for reinforced composites. This book presents in detail the experimental results on processing, rheological and curing behavior of CNT modified vinyl ester resin suspensions and establishes a link between thermoset resin chemistry and the electrical, thermal and mechanical properties of the resulting nanocomposites in a concise manner. This book also provides an insight into how to prepare and use CNT modified vinyl ester suspensions as matrix materials for manufacture of fiber reinforced composite structures by using vacuum infusion (VI) and resin transfer molding (RTM) processes
