Abstract :
The functionalization with formaldehyde via
an electrophilic substitution reaction and graft with poly
(acrylic acid) (PAA) by ‘‘grafting from’’ technology have
been carried out for multiwalled carbon nanotubes
(MWNTs) and MWNTs-PAA composites have been
formed. The IR and TEM results show presence of
covalent band and so-called ‘‘core-shell’’ structures for
MWNTs-PAA. The MWNTs-PAA exhibits excellent
suspendability in water, which is significant to explore the
potential application of carbon nanotube in biological and
medical systems.
