Abstract

Oxidized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNT) were functionalized with polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS) by opening epoxide groups of PDMS under ultrasonic irradiation and the acidic condition provided by ion-exchange resin. The final product is a uniform solution and allowed the wet-casting of thin film. Photoinitiator and sensitizer were added for UV curing using the Penn state microstereolithography (MSL) system which has a wavelength close to 364 nm.
