“…In order to bring out the anisotropic nature of CNTs, it is important to align CNTs in a polymer matrix during processing of CNT/polymer composites. This has been done by several groups [47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57] based on slicing the composite [51], mechanical stretching [52,53], filtrating the CNT dispersion under a high magnetic field [54], melt-processing and electrospinning [55], etc. Gao et al [56] described that aligned conducting CNTs can be used to make novel CP-NT coaxial nanowires by electrochemically depositing a concentric layer of an appropriate conducting polymer uniformly onto each of the constituent aligned CNTs.…”

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.

“…CNTs have previously been combined with both bulk and nano PAni to improve its properties for a range of applications, including actuation and sensing [4,6,[30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40]. For example, Spinks et al report using CNTs to improve the tensile strength and stress loading of PAni for artificial muscles [6].…”

“…Modification of the polymer can be done by using conjugated polymers, which can associate through π-π interactions. For example, Chen et al [128] used poly(phenylene ethynylene) (PPE) to disperse nanotubes; polyaniline and polyimide are also widely reported in this context [129][130][131][132].…”

Research on mixed matrix membranes in which nanoparticles are used to enhance the membrane's performance in terms of flux, separation, and fouling resistance has boomed in the last years. This review probes on the specific features and benefits of one specific type of nanoparticles with a well-defined cylindrical structure, known as nanotubes. Nanotube structures for potential use in membranes are reviewed. These comprise mainly single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), but also other structures and materials, which are less studied for membrane applications, can be used. Important issues related to polymer-nanotube interactions such as dispersion and alignment are outlined, and a categorization is made of the resultant membranes. Applications are reviewed in four different areas, that is, gas separation, water filtration, drug delivery, and fuel cells.
