## Abstract **Summary:** It has been a real challenge to form carbon nanotube (CNT)/polymer composites where CNTs are well‐dispersed in the polymer matrix and the interactions between CNTs and polymers are effectively strong. In this paper, we applied surface‐initiated, ring‐opening polymerization

## Abstract The present article reports on a strategy for the functionalization of multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) by grafting with various polymer chains. Copolymers consisting of __α__‐methylstyrene (AMS) and a second monomer, that is glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) or styrene (St), were synth
## Abstract Pyrene containing diblock copolymers based on poly(methyl methacrylate) were synthesized and investigated regarding their adsorption on carbon nanotubes (CNT). The pyrene units were introduced using a reactive ester monomer for the build up of the second block which later on was reacted
