Abstract
New polyesters incorporating a variable quantity of imidazolium rings along the backbone are synthesized by Huisgen 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition (“click” reaction). Subsequently, the imidazolium‐grafted copolymers reveal an efficient dispersing ability toward the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) through supramolecular interactions in organic media. Interestingly, these compounds offer a simple and reliable strategy to control the quantity of dispersed CNTs as a function of imidazolium content. This approach is particularly suitable for the elaboration of biosourced and biodegradable materials based on poly(butylene succinate) with high‐performance properties.
