Functionalization of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) is one of several methods used to improve the compatibility of CNT. Even though acid functionalised method is effective, the strong acids such as H2SO4/HNO3 were normally employed and long hours of sonication is used to disperse the CNTs in t...
