“…106,107 Electronic spectroscopy showed that the band-gap transitions in the semiconducting tubes were completely disrupted at a functionalization level of 2% of the available SWNT carbon atoms. 7 Apart from the carbene chemistry, 6 97 While the side walls of the carbon nanotubes were once considered impregnable (like the fullerenes), 32,33 there is now an extensive chemistry, 7,93,94,96,97,110 and these initial studies suggest that the chemistry of the carbon nanotubes will ultimately rival that of the carbon fullerenes.…”

In this Account we highlight the experimental evidence in favor of our view that carbon nanotubes should be considered as a new macromolecular form of carbon with unique properties and with great potential for practical applications. We show that carbon nanotubes may take on properties that are normally associated with molecular species, such as solubility in organic solvents, solutionbased chemical transformations, chromatography, and spectroscopy. It is already clear that the nascent field of nanotube chemistry will rival that of the fullerenes.

“…For that purpose, proper chemical treatments are required to attach functional groups to filler surface which can react with the matrix [65][66][67][68][69][70]. Figure 5a-c shows three types of surface functionalization of CNT with polymer chains, hydroxyl, and carboxyl groups, respectively.…”

Composite materials and especially polymer composites are widely used in daily life and different industries due to their vastly different properties and design flexibility. It is known that the properties of the composites are strongly related to the properties of its constituents. However, it has been reported in many studies, experimentally and by simulations, that the characteristics of the composites do not follow the rule of mixing. It means that in addition to properties of the constituents, there are other parameters affecting the final physicochemical properties of composites. The interfacial interactions between fillers and host is one of the factors which can strongly affect the properties of the composite. In this review, we summarized the type of interactions between the constituents, their improvement techniques, interaction measurement methods, and the effects of interfacial interactions on thermal, mechanical, and electrical properties of composites.
