Fabrication and Properties of Composites of Poly(ethylene oxide) and Functionalized Carbon Nanotubes

Abstract

We show that composites with improved uniformity and dispersion can be formed using chemically functionalized carbon nanotubes. A significant enhancement of the mechanical properties was obtained at low nanotube loading. In contrary to previous results from pristine nanotubes, the composites show efficient load transfer between the fillers and matrix.
