摘要
Industrially relevant characterization of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) is still a challenging task. The aim of this work is to show novel and fast concepts for the chemical characterization of carbon nanotubes (CNT) by a combination of analytical techniques. Information obtained by individual tools like Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy or Raman spectroscopy is not providing a full picture of the functionalization of MWCNTs. However, a combination of tools such as FTIR or mass spectrometry with thermogravimetric methods proved to be very useful. Sample preparation for FTIR and Raman spectroscopy is another focus of this contribution because of its strong effect on the results obtained. We also are suggesting methods for sample preparation that lead to highly reproducibility results. Measurements have been carried out on typical CNT samples such as commercially available pristine, carboxylated and amino-functionalized MWCNTs, and on polystyrenegrafted MWCNTs. The results may serve as a guidance for the qualitative and quantitative characterization of CNT.
