Aryl Diazonium Chemistry - Electrochemical Modification of Nanotubes 

Based on TGA and elemental analysis, up to one in 20 nanotube carbons (5 %) has been found to possess an aryl addend [174], For the preparation of PS-CNT nanocomposites, the same authors functionalized SWCNTs by in-situ generation of a diazonium compound from 4-(10-hydroxydecyl)aminobenzoate [175], From rheology data it was suggested that the reinforcement and dispersibility of the thus functionalized SWCNT-composites were improved over PS composites with pristine SWCNTs.
