Abstract

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were one of nanoparticles with unique structure and significant advantages. But the application of CNTs was limited because of the inert surface of CNTs. In this paper, fluorinating Multi-walled carbon (F-MWNTs)was synthesized by solid-phase method which taken an organic fluoride compound as the main raw material, make function carbon nanotubes. As a comparison, raw MWNTs and F- MWNTs have been characterized by using FTIR, XRD, XPS. The results showed that C-F bonds were created on the surface of carbon nanotubes, successfully synthesis fluoride carbon nanotubes. The mole contents of fluorin atom can be reached 3.59 mol%. The demonstrated C-F functionalization provides a new synthetic method and the F-MWNTs can be used as precursors for the preparation ofbismaleimide-MWNTs polymer materials.The bismaleimide (BMI)/MWNTs composites were prepared by in situ polymerization. The results showed that BMI with MWNTs fillers has extraordinary significance for the development of advanced materials with enhanced mechanical properties.
