Abstract :
In this paper, polymaleic anhydride are grafted on the carbon nanotube (CNT) surfaces. This process provided a good method in amination and enhances the solubility of CNTs. The reaction products have high solubility in organic solvents. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are used to characterize the products.
