The preparation of multi-walled carbon nanotubes encapsulated by poly(3-acrylaminopropylsiloxane) with silica nanospheres on the polymer surface Original Research Article

A silica–polymer–carbon nanotube hybrid was prepared in which the nanotubes were encapsulated by poly(3-acrylaminopropylsiloxane) with silica nanospheres on the polymer surface. First, highly reactive poly(acryloyl chloride) (PAC) was grafted onto the nan
