Nonconjugated hydrocarbon polymers could also be combined with carbon nanotubes, with polystyrene being the most studied example. The composites are generally prepared by solution or shear mixing techniques, resulting in materials with improved mechanical properties [60].

Polystyrene For polystyrene, both covalently and noncovalently bound composite materials with carbon nanotubes are known. Polystyrene, like the methacrylates, can be generated by surface-initiated radical polymerization on nanotubes functionalized with initiator molecules (in analogy to Figure 3.86). Suitable substances then actually include analogous compounds like in the case of polymethacrylates.
