Abstract
Chemically functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/bisphenol-A glycidol ether epoxy resin/2-ethyl-4-methylimidazole composites were prepared. MWCNTs were first treated by a 3:1 (v/v) mixture of concentrated H2SO4/HNO3, and then triethylenetetramine (TETA) grafting was carried out. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis proved the effectiveness of H2SO4/HNO3 treatment and confirmed the TETA functionalization mechanism. Chemical...
