A review on the mechanical properties of polymer composites reinforced by carbon nanotubes and graphene (2020, methodology): “[47] used plasma treatment to functionalized MWCNTs afterward, maleic anhydride (MA) was grafted onto the MWCNTs.”
Highly curable epoxy/MWCNTs nanocomposites: An effective approach to functionalization of carbon nanotubes (2015, background): “To resolve this situation, some suggest functionalization by free radical addition capable of giving longer arms onto the CNT surface [30,31].”
A review of the electrical and mechanical properties of carbon nanofiller-reinforced polymer composites (2018, unknown): “UV/ O3 and plasma treatments are two other interesting methods to relax inter-tube interactions by introducing hydrophilic groups such as oxygen molecules on the surface of CNTs to facilitate good dispersion in the epoxy [30, 32, 33, 37].”
Carbon nanotube–polymer composites: Chemistry, processing, mechanical and electrical properties (2010, methodology): “Similarly, fully integrated CNT–epoxy composites were prepared via plasma treatment of the carbon nanostructures [134,135] and subsequent functionalization with maleic anhydride [136] or by grafting nanotubes with alkoxysilane groups [137].”
