Abstract :
In order to combine the advantages of functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes as a highly electronic conductive chemical species to that of polysulfone as a membrane material this paper reports the results concerning the synthesis of new polymeric-carbon nanotubes composite membranes based on polysulfone with functionalized double wall (DWNT) amino carbon nanotubes with sulfated cyclodextrine, are shown, with potential applications in gas sensing. The above synthesized membranes were structurally characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy, Atomic Force Microscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy, thermal analysis.
