Abstract

Carbon nanotubes Polycrystalline materials Functionalization, carbon nanotube
Carbon nanotube (CNT)‐seeded controlled polymer crystallization provides a simple yet effective means to periodically modify CNT surfaces. Both single‐ and multiwalled CNTs have been successfully decorated with polyethylene and nylon‐6,6 (see Figure and cover), implying that it might be a generic method for CNT functionalization. By coupling crystalline polymers with functional groups, ordered multifunctionality could be realized on individual CNTs.
