“…Reactive coupling was found to be a dominant factor besides 'π-cation' interaction in achieving low electrical percolation in MWNT/ PA6 composites. It is worthy to mention the other efforts of synthesizing hybrid multi-scale reinforcement such as CNTs on carbon fibers [125][126][127][128][129][130][131] or on different ceramic particles [132]. In this case, CNTs can be homogeneously dispersed at microscale in the matrix with the help of these microscale carbon fibers or ceramic 'vehicle' because the microscale reinforcements can be much easily handled [132].…”

Abstract. The state-of-art and key problems of carbon nanotube (CNT) based polymer composites (CNT/polymer composites) including CNT/polymer structural composites and CNT/polymer functional composites are reviewed. Based on the results reported up to now, CNTs can be an effective reinforcement for polymer matrices, and the tensile strength and elastic modulus of CNT/polymer composites can reach as high as 3600 MPa and 80 GPa, respectively. CNT/polymer composites are also promising functional composite materials with improved electrical and thermal conductivity, etc. Due to their multi-functional properties, CNT/polymer composites are expected to be used as low weight structural materials, optical devices, thermal interface materials, electric components, electromagnetic absorption materials, etc. However, the full potential of CNT/polymer composites still remains to be realized. A few key problems, such as how to prepare structurecontrollable CNTs with high purity and consistently dependable high performance, how to break up entangled or bundled CNTs and then uniformly disperse and align them within a polymer matrix, how to improve the load transfer from matrix to CNT reinforcement, etc, still exist and need to be solved in order to realize the wide applications of these advanced composites.

“…Deposition time is another parameter affecting the growth of nanotubes. To study the variation of yield of total product with respect to deposition time experiments were carried out for different times (15,30,45, 60, 75 and 90 min) and the yield was measured for each deposition time. The results obtained are shown in Fig.…”

“…The simple procedure for CNT functionalization of GO fibers described here can be considered as an alternative approach to other strategies for CNT functionalization/coating of substrates (including chemical vapour deposition techniques, [91][92][93][94] substrate transfer/printing, 95 the use of magnetic fields, 96 electrophoresis, 97,98 and other substrate chemical functionalization routes 99 ), and may not be restricted to GO-based surfaces. These CNT/tectomer coatings are promising in nanoelectronics, sensor applications, catalysis, biocompatible CNT inks, cell culture and smart textile applications.…”
