Carbon nanomaterials such as multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT) and vapor-grown carbon nanofiber (VGCNF) were functionalized with 4-(4-aminophenoxy)benzoic acid to afford 4-(4-aminophenoxy)benzoyl-functionalized carbon nanomaterials (ABF-MWNT and ABF-VGCNF). Compared to reactivity of 4-aminobenzoyl-functionalized MWNT (AF-MWNT) and VGCNF (AF-VGCNF) with epoxy resin, that of ABF-MWNT and ABF-VGCNF could be enhanced. As a result, the resultant nanocomposites were expected to display improved physical properties via efficient load transfer through covalent bonds between epoxy and functionalized carbon nantomaterials. |
