“…For that purpose, proper chemical treatments are required to attach functional groups to filler surface which can react with the matrix [65][66][67][68][69][70]. Figure 5a-c shows three types of surface functionalization of CNT with polymer chains, hydroxyl, and carboxyl groups, respectively.…”

Composite materials and especially polymer composites are widely used in daily life and different industries due to their vastly different properties and design flexibility. It is known that the properties of the composites are strongly related to the properties of its constituents. However, it has been reported in many studies, experimentally and by simulations, that the characteristics of the composites do not follow the rule of mixing. It means that in addition to properties of the constituents, there are other parameters affecting the final physicochemical properties of composites. The interfacial interactions between fillers and host is one of the factors which can strongly affect the properties of the composite. In this review, we summarized the type of interactions between the constituents, their improvement techniques, interaction measurement methods, and the effects of interfacial interactions on thermal, mechanical, and electrical properties of composites.

“…[2] Therefore, the functionalization of CNTs is a prerequisite of their successful application in composites. The functionalization of CNTs by chemical methods has been achieved by several authors [3][4][5][6] and powder of functionalized CNTs is also commercially available. [7] Plasma treatment is well known as the method of choice to functionalize and tailor material surfaces.…”

The functionalization of multi‐walled CNTs in O2/Ar and H2O/Ar low pressure capacitive discharges was studied by XPS and FT‐IR. The pristine and functionalized CNTs were used as fillers in polyurethane paints. Successful plasma functionalization was confirmed by changes in atomic composition and chemical shift of the XPS atomic signals. The functionalization was indicated also by the shift of IR absorption peaks corresponding to the motion of carbon skeleton, especially the peak at about 1 560 cm−1. The presence of carbonyl was confirmed by IR absorption peak at 1 723 cm−1 only for O2/Ar plasma. The plasma functionalized CNTs increased significantly the universal and plastic hardness of the CNTs reinforced polyurethane as compared to the composites with pristine CNTs.

“…Dispersions have been characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM), UV/visible-NIR spectra etc. (Shaffer, Fan et al 1998;Ausman, Piner et al 2000) The evolution of the dispersed state under quiescent conditions following sonication, however, remains unknown. Here, we use light scattering to quantify the state dispersion of as-received and acid-treated carbon nanofibers as a function of time.…”
