Tufting has been shown to improve the mechanical properties of composites. Unlike other published works which rely on commercially available materials, for this study, continuous polymer yarns with diameters ranging from 160 μm to 720 μm of unfilled PPSU and PPSU nanocomposites with 1 wt.% of carbon nanotubes (CNT) were prepared using a twin-screw extruder. The tensile properties of these yarns generally improved with the addition of CNT at higher values of ‘screw speed to haul-off’ ratio. This effect is correlated with the yarn draw down ratio and attributed to the nanofiller orientation induced in the thermoplastic matrix. The fibres exhibited as much as a 23% increase in Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS) for the same parameter set when loaded with CNT. Depending on filler and processing parameters set, yarns varied in UTS from 96.4 MPa to 206.2 MPa for unfilled PPSU and PPSU-CNT, respectively.
