Nanocomposites based on semi-crystalline poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and well-dispersed chemically functionalized singlewalled carbon nanotubes are combined through simple mixing. The interaction between the nanotubes and the polymer matrix is studied using optical and thermal methods. Significant enh
## Abstract We report a facile method to accomplish the crosslinking reaction of PVA with SWNTs, MWNTs, and Cโ60 using MW irradiation. Nanocomposites of PVA crosslinked with SWNT, MWNT and Cโ60 were prepared expeditiously by reacting the respective carbon nanotubes with 3 wt.โ% PVA under MW irradia
