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 Cβ60 using MW irradiation. Nanocomposites of PVA crosslinked with SWNT, MWNT and Cβ60 were prepared expeditiously by reacting the respective carbon nanotubes with 3 wt.β% PVA under MW irradia
## Abstract Devices with varying concentrations of singleβwalled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) dispersed in three derivatives of poly(__p__βphenylene vinylene) are prepared, and their electroluminescent properties evaluated. Increasing the concentration of SWNTs improves the electrical conductivity of t
