Description
In this study the funtionalization of MWCNTs with 1,3-butadiene generated in situ from solfolene was investigated. The reaction was studded at two different temperatures (100ºC and 150ºC), mass ratios (CNTs:Sulfolene of 1:1 and 1:2) and different time reaction (2, 4 and 7 days). Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed high degree of functionalization in a range of 10 % to 23 % in weight loss at 800 ºC. The acid properties of funtionalized materials were recorded by potentiometric titration that suggests some oxidation during the funtionalization process (Figure 1). In Figure 2 are summarized the results of weight loss obtained by TGA and respective acid properties of functionalized carbon nanotubes. The funtionalization was also evaluated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
