A surface-initiated AGET ATRP system was developed on the surface of multiwall carbon nanotubes by using FeCl3·6H2O as the catalyst, tris-(3,6-dioxoheptyl) amine as the ligand and ascorbic acid as the reducing agent.

AbstractThe recently developed initiation system, the activator generated by electron transfer (AGET) was used in atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) to synthesize well-controlled polyacrylamide in aqueous media at 25°C. The different reducing agents involved ascorbic acid and glucosa; well-controlled polymers were obtained when ascorbic acid was used as water-soluble reducing agent. The polymerizations targeted at degrees of polymerization in the range of 400 resulted in polymers with low polydispersity indices. Moreover, first order plots were linear.

Silver reinforced with carbon nanotubes, instead of graphite, would increase both the electrical conductivity, hardness and wear resistance of the electrical brush materials. The effective utilization of carbon nanotubes in the Ag/CNT composite depends strongly on its uniform distribution and strong interfacial adhesion to the silver matrix and thus demands for its surface modification. In order to carry out the surface modification of carbon nanotubes, electroless coating was given to them after liquid phase oxidation, sensitization and activation process. The room-temperature chemical treatment results in a nominally complete coating over the entire outer surface of multiwall carbon nanotube. The surface morphology of the carbon nanotubes after each step has been studied using TGA, DSC, XRD, FTIR and SEM.
