Carbon nanotube reinforced polymer composites have recently been the focus of numerous research efforts. With regards to mechanical behavior, the enhancements reported are much lower than the theoretical predictions. One of the main challenges being tackled is achieving a uniform dispersion. Solvent mixing has been used extensively. Concerns, however, arose that unevaported solvents could negatively affect the mechanical properties. In this thesis, solvent and dry mixing for dispersing MWNT powders within the polymer prior to fabrication by melt processing are compared. Various weight fractions of CNT are added and the effect on the mechanical, crystallization and flow properties of the resulting composites is investigated. In both cases, enhancements in yield strength compared to the neat polymer were observed. It was found that dry mixing produced composites with the highest yield strength at 0.5 wt % CNT, whereas solvent mixing produced a similar enhancement at CNT contents of 1 wt %. It is believed that this difference is primarily dependent on the dispersion of CNTs within the polymer matrix. On the other hand, ductility was much higher for solvent mixed samples compared to dry mixed ones. FESEM analysis showed the presence of clusters in large wt
