NH2 functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) have been modified to include amine groups (-NH2) on their surface, which imparts unique characteristics and enhances their compatibility with various matrices and substances. This functionalization expands their utility beyond the inherent properties of MWCNTs, making them particularly valuable for a wide range of applications
Improved Dispersion in Solvents and Polymers: The introduction of amine groups enhances the solubility and dispersion of MWCNTs in both organic solvents and polymer matrices. Good dispersion is crucial for the uniform distribution of MWCNTs in composites, ensuring consistent properties throughout the material.
Enhanced Interfacial Interaction: The amine groups can form chemical bonds or strong interactions with matrices or functional molecules, leading to improved interfacial adhesion in composites. This results in composites with better mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties.
Increased Reactivity for Further Functionalization: The presence of -NH2 groups increases the reactivity of MWCNTs, allowing for further chemical modifications. This is particularly useful in creating MWCNTs tailored for specific applications, including the attachment of biomolecules for biomedical applications or catalysts for chemical reactions.
Enhanced Electrical Properties: While the inherent electrical conductivity of MWCNTs is high, functionalization with -NH2 groups can further modify their electrical properties. This makes them suitable for use in sensors, conductive polymers, and electrochemical devices.
