Abstract

The polymer/carbon nanotube (CNT) nanocomposites are expected to have the good processability of polymer and the excellent functional properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). One of the critical challenges is how to enhance the dispersion of CNTs in polymer matrix. In the review, we summarized the progresses on the dispersion of CNTs in polymer matrix, including optimum physical blending, in-situ polymerization and chemical functionalization.
