Abstract
Cyano functional groups were covalently attached to the surface of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) by free radical addition of AIBN, then Al-NiCl2·6H2O-THF system was used to reduce the cyano to obtain aminofunctionalized carbon nanotubes. he structure and morphology of amino-functionalized M s were characterized by Raman spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. he results showed that amino group was linked to the surface of MWNTs and approximately 17.1 of every 1 000 carbon atoms on the surface of MWNTs were grafted to amino groups.
