Single-walled and multiple-walled carbon nanotubes were functionalized with poly (vinyl
alcohol)(PVA) in esterification reactions. Similar to the parent PVA, the functionalized carbon …

Single-walled and multiple-walled carbon nanotubes were functionalized with a polystyrene
copolymer, poly (styrene-co-p-(4-(4 '-vinylphenyl)-3-oxabutanol)). The functionalization …

Carbon nanotubes were functionalized with poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA). The water-soluble
PVA–functionalized carbon nanotubes were then embedded into PVA matrix via a wet …

In the preparation of high-quality polymeric carbon nanocomposites, the full compatibility of
carbon nanotubes as the filler with the matrix polymer is required. For such a purpose, an …

Are nanotubes ideally suited to a straightforward reinforcing role? Results reported here
indicate that that may not be the case, but they could find application as a polymer modifier …

Functionalized carbon nanotubes are more favorable for the desired homogeneous
dispersion of exfoliated nanotubes as nanoscale fillers in polymeric nanocomposites …

To optimize the properties of carbon nanotube− polymer composites, it is important to control
nanotube dispersion and alignment. One way to achieve such control is by growing …

Single-walled carbon nanotubes were functionalized along their sidewalls with phenol
groups using the 1, 3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction. These phenols could be further …

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were dispersed in the form of individual
nanotubes and small bundles, and subsequently polymerized to prepare composite films …

Since their discovery at the beginning of the 1990s, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been
the focus of considerable research by both academia and industry due to their remarkable …
