Abstract The aim of the work was to synthesize epoxy-based nanocomposites reinforced with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT). MWNTs were first functionalized in order increase dispersion degree within polymer matrix and thus ensure good adhesion between two components. functionalization process consists steps: first, MWNT oxidized, then an amidation reaction occurred various amines using carbondiimide succinimide as activators. Thus, new modified benzylamine (BA) nonylphenoxy...
