Abstract
We have worked a surface modification to release a strong agglomeration of multi-walled carbon nanotube(MWCNT) and a incorporation of hydrophilic polymer to improve compatibility between MWCNT and polymers. Carboxylated MWCNT was easily obtained by acid treatment and the carboxylate was converted to acylchloride by thionyl chloride. Then, we tried one more synthesizing routes to achieve covalent bonds with poly(ethylene oxide) having amine end groups of low molecular weight. We measured the polymer content on the surface of MWCNT by TGA and observed increased diameter of MWCNT by SEM and TEM analysis.

탄소나노튜브의 응집력을 완화하기 위한 표면 개질과 고분자 소재와의 상용성을 유도하기 위하여, 친수성 고분자를 도입하는 연구를 진행하였다. 산처리를 통한 표면 기능화를 시행하였으며, 카복실기 도입 탄소나노튜브를 thionyl chloride을 사용하여 acyl chloride로 치환한 후 저분자량의 아민 말단 poly(ethylene oxide)를 공유결합으로 도입하였다. TGA를 통하여 탄소나노튜브 표면에 도입된 고분자의 함량을 계산하였으며, 탄소나노튜브 표면에 도입된 고분자의 표면 형상을 SEM과 TEM을 통하여 직경이 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
