## Abstract Cholesteric liquid crystalline polyesters were successfully synthesized from isosorbide, methyl hydroquinone, and isophthaloyl chloride. Homo/copolyesters were synthesized by the solution polycondensation method, for which a mild organic base such as pyridine was employed. Inherent visc
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 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
