Different characterization techniques such as FTIR spectrometery, thermogravimetric analysis （TGA）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, and solubility in different solvents were performed for the oxidized MWCNTs, MWCNTs-PEG and MWCNTs-ODA. The characterization techniques proved the presence of the functional groups on the MWCNTs surface. Thermal gravimetric analysis revealed that nearly 16% （by weight） of the MWCNTs were functionalized with PEG and 39% （by weight） was functionalized with ODA.展开更多
