Abstract:The homogeneous dispersion of multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in a polymer matrix significantly affects the overall properties of composites. In this study, MWCNTs/epoxy (EP) composites were prepared using DeoxyriboNucleic acid (DNA) as a dispersant. The MWCNTs were uniformly dispersed in a phenalkamine curing agent and crosslinked with an epoxy resin matrix. The non‐covalent functionalization of DNA‐dispersed MWCNTs was confirmed by characterizing both the pristine and DNA‐modified MWCNTs. Additionally… Show more
