Preparation of Polymer-CNT Nanocomposites by y-Irradiation Polymerization

Polymer-multi walled carbon nanotube (MWNT) nanocomposites were first prepared by y-irradiation polymerization of vinyl monomers with funetional groups for application as electron transfer materials in aqueous solution at room temperature and ambient pressure by Yang et al. The vinyl monomers [Pg.174]

Possible mechanism for polymer-CNT nanocomposites by y-irradiation polymerization. [Pg.175]

Polymer-MWNT nanocomposites have been obtained by y-irradiation polymerization of various vinyl monomers. Among them, the poly(VPBAc)-MWNT nanocomposite was used as sensing sites in enzyme-free glucose sensors for the detection of glucose without enzymes. The prepared poly(VPBAc)-MWNT nanocomposite electrodes displayed an excellent linear response to glucose concentration in the range 1.0-10 mM. [Pg.175]
