Abstract :
In situ functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT)/Phenoxy composites were prepared by melt mixing Phenoxy with MWNT and 1-(aminopropyl)imidazole (NIm). Composites with 4.8 wt% or more of in situ functionalized MWNT show higher storage modulus than Phenoxy, provided a sufficient amount of NIm was used to aid in the dispersion of the hydrophobic MWNTs in the hydrophilic Phenoxy matrix.
