In this article, amino functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were prepared by chemical modification of the surface of a MWCNTs using γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) and dispersed into the epoxy composition. The modifying agent (APTES) was directly deposited on the MWCNTs surfaces. For the functionalization of MWCNTs, was used not the APTES concentrate, as it had been described in previous works, but its freshly prepared aqueous solution. Properties of APTES-treated MWCNTs were characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM), Raman spectroscopy and FT-IR. The results showed that the functionalization and chemical compatibility of APTES-treated MWCNTs with epoxy composition provides their best dispersion in the epoxy composition, had important influence on curing behavior, structure and physicochemical properties of the epoxy composites plasticized with trichloroethyl phosphate. The results showed that the functionalization and chemical compatibility of APTES-treated MWCNTs with epoxy composition provides increased of physicomechanical properties of epoxy composites: bending stress increases by 194% and bending modulus increases by 137%, the tensile strength increases by 108% and the tensile elastic modulus increases by 52%, impact strength increases by 300%, in comparison with plasticized epoxy composite that does not contain MWCNTs.

And Performance

The Dopamine-modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT-Dopa) were synthesized by chemical reaction between dopamine (Dopa) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes which oxidazed by mixed-acid (MWNT-COOH). The structure of MWNT-Dopa were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Thermogravimetric (TG), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques and the dispersity of MWNT-Dopa were studied by Dispersion stability analyzer. The results show that dopamine has been grafted on multiwalled carbon nanotubes successfully, and a dopamine layer which wraps on the surface of multiwalled nanotubes make multiwalled nanotubes have outstanding dispersity in water.

Chemical functionalization of carboxylated multiwalled carbon nanotubes with vitamin B1 was carried out under ultrasonic irradiation. The functionalized nanotubes were embedded in a chiral and biodegradable poly(ester-imide) to prepare multiwalled carbon nanotubes reinforced polymer nanocomposites. Optically active poly(ester-imide) was synthesized by step-growth polymerization of aromatic diol and amino acid based diacid. The vitamin B1 functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes and the resulting nanocomposites were examined using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and field-emission scanning electron microscopy. Thermogravimetric analysis results indicated that temperature at 10% weight loss was increased from 409℃ for pure PEI to 419℃, 427℃, and 430℃ for nanocomposites containing 5%, 10%, and 15% functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes, respectively. The Fourier-transform scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy images exhibited that the functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes were separated individually and enwrapped by polymer chains.

Functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) by various groups (carboxyl or amino) can improve the properties of anti-tumoral drugs (cisplatin, docetaxel, zometa). Functionalization was evidenced by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Platinum ions released in simulated body fluid (SBF) were measured by inductively coupled plasma ion spectrometry (ICP-MS).

Functionalized Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes

This paper investigates the effect of multiwalled carbon nanotubes on the mechanical and electrical properties of epoxy resins and epoxy composites. The research concerns multiwalled carbon nanotubes obtained by catalytic chemical vapor deposition, subjected to purification processes and covalent functionalization by depositing functional groups on their surfaces. The study included the analysis of the change in DC resistivity, tensile strength, strain, and Young’s modulus with the addition of carbon nanotubes in the range of 0 to 2.5 wt.%. The effect of agents intended to increase the affinity of the nanomaterial to the polymer on the aforementioned properties was also investigated. The addition of functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes allowed us to obtain electrically conductive materials. For all materials, the percolation threshold was obtained with 1% addition of multiwalled carbon nanotubes, and filling the polymer with a higher content of carbon nanotubes increased its conductivity. The use of carbon nanotubes as polymer reinforcement allows higher values of tensile strength and a higher strain percentage to be achieved. In contrast, Young’s modulus values did not increase significantly, and higher nanofiller percentages resulted in a drastic decrease in the values of the abovementioned properties.

Functionalized Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes

The chiral poly(amide-imide) (PAI) was synthesized by the direct polycondensation reaction of imide-dicarboxylic acid, N-trimellitylimido-l-phenylalanine with diamine and 1,5-naphthalenediamine. Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/polymer composite films were prepared via dispersing of acid-functionalized MWCNTs (MWCNT-COOH) as reinforcement at MWCNT loadings of 5, 10, and 15 wt%. The PAI/MWCNT composite films were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The TEM results confirmed that the carboxylated MWCNTs were well dispersed in the polymer matrix. The thermogravimetric analysis data showed an improvement of thermal stability of composites containing the MWCNT as compared to the pure polymer. In this research, PAI/MWCNT composite 15 wt% was used as a novel and efficient adsorbent for removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solution.

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are grafted with hyperbranched polysiloxane ( HBPSi ) by an efficient hydrosilylation method. In this hydrosilylation process, hydroxylated MWCNTs (HO-MWCNTs) are first functionalized by triethoxyvinylsilane to introduce carbon–carbon double bonds ( C = C ) on the surface of MWCNTs. The C = C is then reacted with the monomer of methylbis(dimethylvinylsiloxy)silane in the presence of the platinum–carbon catalyst, thus HBPSi is ultimately grafted on the surface of MWCNTs. Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) are employed to characterize the changes in MWCNTs surface morphology, chemistry and physical conditions at different processing stages. The content of HBPSi on the surface of MWCNTs was also measured by the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results indicate that the HBPSi successfully grafted on the surface of MWCNTs, and the dispersion of MWCNTs in organic solvent is also improved after functionalization.
