Mechanical and morphological characterization of polymer–carbon nanocomposites from functionalized carbon nanotubes

Carbon nanotubes were functionalized with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). The water-soluble PVA–functionalized carbon nanotubes were then embedded into PVAmatrix via a wet-casting method, resulting in polymer–carbon nanocomposite films with homogeneous nanotube dispersion. Composites with pristine and fu...
