A novel method for well-organized polystyrene-grafted multi-walled carbon nanotube bundles via self-assembly in tetrahydrofuran

Published: Jul 1, 2013
Abstract
Polystyrene (PS) grafted multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were well-organized as bundles by a selfassembly method in tetrahydrofuran (THF). PS was synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization and grafted to the surface of tubes through covalent bonds. Unmodified tubes agglomerated irregularly and precipitated instantly because of poor compatibility with THF. But soluble PS provides solvent-phobic MWCNTs with suspending stability and...
