The Electrical Properties and Conducting Mechanisms of Carbon Nanotube/Polymer Nanocomposites: A Review (2010, background): “Some experimental studies on CNT-reinforced polymer materials have been reported for various kinds of organic polymers since the discovery of CNTs, such as: polyethylene, polypropylene, poly(methylmethacrylate), pitch([25]), epoxy([26,27]), polystyrene([28]), polyurethane([29,30]) and polysilsesquio”
Surface functionalities of multi-wall carbon nanotubes after UV/Ozone and TETA treatments (2006, background): “Weak coupling between the outer and inner layers of the multi-walled nanotube (MWNTs) and the twisting/curling of the nanotubes owing to van der Waals interactions and very high aspect ratios are also partly responsible for the under-performance of the CNT reinforced composites [8,9].”
Mechanical and tribological properties of self-lubricating metal matrix nanocomposites reinforced by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene – A review (2015, background): “It has been reported that when there is a strong bonding between functionalized MWNTs and an epoxy matrix the outer shells of the tube remain embedded in the matrix following pull-out [123,124].”
Carbon nanotube reinforced polymer composites—A state of the art (2007, background): “A reduction in the agglomerate size can be achieved with a functionalization process (Gojny et al 2003).”
