摘要
The preparation of nylon-functionalized carbon nanotubes (CN) from anionic ring-opening polymerization from nanotube surface was investigated. The sample of single walled CN was purified by using a combination of thermal oxidation and oxidative acid treatment. A purified SWNT sample was mixed with thionyl chloride, and the mixture was stirred and refluxed for 24h. Results shows that the solubility of the functionalized nanotube sample in some organic solvents may prove valueable to the homogenous dispersion of the SWNTs in nylon for high-quality nanocomposite materials.
