Fabrication of Antibacterial Poly(Vinyl Alcohol) Nanocomposite Films Containing Dendritic Polymer Functionalized Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes

A series of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) nanocomposite films containing quaternized hyperbranched polyethyleneimine (PEI) functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (ox-CNTs@QPEI) are prepared by solvent casting technique. The modified carbon-based material exhibits high aqueous solubility, due to th...
