摘要：
A new method to graft a large number of long polymer chains or small functional molecules onto multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) indirectly is reported. First, MWNTs were slightly functionalized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) copolymerization of styrene and maleic anhydride using the dithioester groups attached to MWNTs as RAFT agents. The highly reactive maleic anhydride groups could further react with a large number of long polymer chains or small functional molecules with hydroxyl or amino group easily. The resulted MWNTs have good solubility in organic solvents and water; the perfect structure of MWNTs is altered very little from the information of Raman spectra. (c) 2006 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
