The acid-and diamine-modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes were characterized by XPS,
apparent density test and SEM. Their effects on the mechanical properties and crystallization …

Covalently functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) wrapped in intumescent flame retardant
were successfully fabricated and characterized. By adjusting the ratio of CNTs and flame …

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were functionalized with polyhedral oligomeric
silsesquioxane (POSS) via amide linkages. The oxidized MWNT (MWNT–COOH) was …

A novel and versatile Gemini-grafting strategy to modify surfaces/substrates is presented by
a combination of conventional “grafting to” and “grafting from” strategies. As a typical …

We present an experimental study of the electrical and thermal properties of
nanocomposites made of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and multiwall carbon nanotubes (CNTs) …

4-[3-(1-Pyrenyl) propylcarbonyloxy]-1-butyne (PyB) and 4-ferrocenylcarbonyloxy-1-butyne
(FcB) were effectively polymerized by zwitterionic rhodium complex Rh+ (nbd)[C6H5B …

Functionalization of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with various 4-substituted
benzoic acids (BAcs) was conducted by using “direct” Friedel–Crafts acylation in mild …

The “in situ” preparation and characterization of composites of polyaniline (PANI) and single-
walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are reported. To improve the dispersion and …

A graft-from approach has been performed to achieve covalent functionalization of multi-
walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) with oligo-hydroxyamide (oHA). Pristine MWNT was first …

This study is concerned with the improvement of interfacial adhesion in polystyrene–carbon
nanotubes composites by grafting polystyrene chains onto the nanotube surface. Based …
