Functionalization of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) plays an important role in eliminating nanotube aggregation for reinforcing polymeric materials. We prepared a new class of natural rubber (NR)/MWCNT composites by using latex compounding and selfassembly technique. The MWCNTs were function

✦ Synopsis
Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) formation on Ketjen black Ò EC300J, Vulcan XC-72R Ò and acetylene black in sulfuric acid solution was investigated. For this purpose, an ultra-microanalysis system for H 2 O 2 was constructed. It was clarified that H 2 O 2 was produced through an oxygen reduction reaction on these carbon materials.
When oxidized acetylene blacks were employed, both the content of alcohol-like groups and the amounts of H 2 O 2 produced increased. It is, therefore, surmised that the alcohol-like groups on acetylene blacks mainly contribute to H 2 O 2 formation in a similar manner as the so-called "anthraquinone process", the practical method for H 2 O 2 production.

An inexpensive method has been found to produce ceramic SiCN-fibres via the precursor route consisting of five processing steps: synthesis of the polymer, preparation of the spinning mass, melt-spinning, curing via electron beam and subsequent pyrolysis at 1100 • C in a nitrogen atmosphere.

A series of octadecylamine (ODA) grafted multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) were prepared and characterized by NMR, FTIR, DSC and XRD. It is revealed that the ODA chains grafted on MWNT are partially crystallized, though the packing structure is not as perfect as the pure ODA. It is believed that
## Abstract **Summary:** Soluble multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (__s__‐MWNTs), obtained via amidation reaction of octadecylamine with purified multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (__p__‐MWNTs), were solution‐mixed with P(MMA‐__co__‐EMA) at various loadings. Compared to the __p__‐MWNTs/P(MMA‐__co__‐EMA) co
