To induce uniform dispersion and excellent interfacial properties, we adopted a strategy of combining both polyamide 6 (PA6) grafting for multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and reactive extrusion of PA6 matrix, based on anionic ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactam (CL). Compared to –COOH and –NCO treatments of MWCNTs, enhanced MWCNT dispersion and tensile properties of the composites were achieved using the applied strategy, and the tensile strength and modulus of the PA6-grafted MWCNT-filled PA6 composites were 5.3% and 20.5% higher than those of the purified MWCNT-filled PA6 composites, respectively. In addition, they were almost similar to the theoretical ones calculated by the modified Mori–Tanaka method (MTM) assuming a perfect interface, indicating that the tensile properties of MWCNT-filled PA6 composites can be optimized by PA6 grafting and reactive extrusion based on the anionic ring-opening polymerization of CL due to uniform MWCNT dispersion and excellent interfacial property.

A noncovalent method was presented in order to improve the solubility of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in water. Poly (ε-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-lysine) (PZLL) was prepared by ring-opening polymerization of ε-carbobenzoxy-L-lysine N-carboxyanhydride (Z-L-Lys NCA). After the removal of the benzyloxycarbonyl group, water-soluble poly-L-lysine (PLL) was obtained. The structure of PZLL and PLL was characterized by FTIR and 1H NMR. Dispersion of MWCNTs in the water solution of PLL was investigated by ultraviolet spectrophotometer and visual inspection. When the mass ratio of MWCNTs to PLL is 1:50 and the pH value of the water solution of PLL is 5, MWCNTs can be well dispersed in water.

Triblock copolymers of polycaprolactone-polyimide-polycaprolactone (PCL-PI-PCL) were synthesized via polycondensation followed by ring-opening polymerization and used as single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) dispersants.
