Forecasting of carbon black nanoparticles preferential absorption in the reactive mixture of Epoxy/PMMA

Carbon black is used as electrically conductive agent in various products such as adhesives. Preferred absorption of CB during curing of Epoxy/PMMA mixture was predicted using a thermodynamic model. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed the theoretical predictions. The results verified the thermodynamic parameters as the crucial ones in determining the final location of CB
