Summary:

Chemists and engineers of various types review research into methods for modifying the surface of nanotubes that are going to be used as fillers in polymer materials to make them more compatible with the molecules of the particular polymer being filled. Like other fillers, they are used to enhance mechanical, electrical and transport properties of pristine polymers. The topics include modifying carbon nanotubes by layer-by-layer assembly approach, the theoretical analysis of nanotube functionalization and polymer grafting, grafting polymers on nanotubes by atom transfer radical polymerization, and the organic functionalization of nanotubes by dipolar cycloaddition.
