Localized Quantitative Characterization of Chemical Functionalization Effects on Adhesion Properties of SWNT

Chemical modification of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) has been found to be an excellent method to promote SWNT dispersion, and possibly to improve interaction with matrices via covalent bonding. It is thus a quite promising technique to enhance the mechanical properties of SWNT-reinforced n...
