          Abstract

          Solubility parameter theories can be used to model the degree of polymer functionalization of MWCNTs in different solvent media.

          Abstract

          The surface energy based solubility parameters theory was applied to model the degree of polystyrene-functionalisation of MWCNTs in six different organic solvents. The experimental characterization of the polymer-functionalized MWCNTs is consistent with the predictions of this model providing a breakthrough towards the rational design of functionalized MWCNTs based on thermodynamic parameters.
