摘要: Amorphous polymer grafted MWNTs were synthesized by free radical copolymerization of styrene and with vinyl groups. The AP-g-CNT samples found to be soluble in a variety organic solvents, such as DMF, CH 2 Cl , other common solvents for polystyrene. exhibit novel lyotropic thermotropic liquid crystallinity pattern-like crack texture solution molten states, respectively. CNTs could linked the amorphous covalent bonds form some assembly patterns including vertically aligned columns, micro-sized mono-layered multi-layered holes. results pave new method developments nano-electronic devices.
