The thickness of the synthesized nanocomposite films ranged from 50 to 70 lam, having well-dispersed MWCNTs. Increasing the AEPTES concentration from 0.0196 to 0.0300 M, increased the amine content and the dispersion of MWCNTs. The film synthesized at 0.0300 M AETPES exhibited the greatest degree of dispersion among the three samples, which is consistent with a self-assembled silane group interacting with the MWCNT surface.展开更多
