Abstract
ⶠFunctionalized MWCNTs by oxidation increased flexural stiffness up to 55% over neat system. ⶠStorage modulus showed significant improvement for nanocomposites with functionalized MWCNTs. ⶠThere was improvement in the dispersion and chemical interaction of MWCNTs in the matrix. ⶠCovalent functionalization of MWCNT is beneficial for use in epoxy systems. ⶠChemical functionalization by fluorination produces HF which degrades flexural properties.
