水溶性碳纳米管及其在聚乙烯醇复合材料中的应用 李春燕 吕献峰 闫业海 青岛科技大学高分子科学与工程学院，橡塑材料与工程教育部重点实验室，山东省青岛市， 266042 自1991年被Iijima首次报道以来，碳纳米管 （CNTs）凭借其轻质、超高长径比结构特 点以及优异的力学、电学、热学性能，在诸多纳米技术领域获得了广泛而深入的研究。然而， 由于巨大的比表面积，直接合成的CNT在范德华力作用下极易集结成束(bundles);另外， 由于表面光滑、化学惰性，CNT很难均匀稳定地分散于水或一般有机溶剂中，所有这些因素 都极大地限制了CNT的理论研究和进一步实践应用。 关键词：碳纳米管 ; 水溶性 ; 聚乙烯醇 ; 分散 SynthesisofWater-solubleCarbonNanotubesanditsApplication inPoly(vinylalcohol)Composites LIChunyanLVXianfengYANYehai KeyLaboratoryofRubber-Plastics,MinistryofEducation,CollegeofPolymerScienceand Engineering,QingdaoUniversityofScienceandTecnology,Qingdao,Shandong,266042 Abstract:Single-walledcarbonnanotubes(SWNTs),owingtotheirlowdensity,highaspectratio, andexcellentmechanical,electricalandthermalproperties,haveattractedgreatattentioninboth academicstudiesandpracticalapplicationssincefirstobservedbyIijimain1991.However,dueto itsveryhighspecificsurfacearea,thenanotubestendtobebundledthroughstrongvandeWaals attraction.Additionally,verysmoothsurfacetogetherwithinflexiblechemicalinertnessmakesthe nanotubesdifficulttobedisperseduniformlyandstablyinwateroracommonorganicsolvent.As aresult,bothacademicandpracticalresearchesofthenanotubesarestronglylimited.
