Functionalization of carbon nanotubes for high-performance polymer composites

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are promising nanofillers for light weight and high strength polymer composites due to their large aspect ratio, low density, and exceptional mechanical properties. Two major obstacles to the application of CNTs in polymer composites are their tendency to form bundles and agg...
