Qin et al. [114] prepared functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) through treatment of polystyrene via the grafting-to method. The results showed that the PS was covalently attached to the side walls of SWNTs. The poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) was functionalized with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) via atom transfer-radical polymerization (ATRP) and the BaTiOs nanoparticles were modified by amino-terminated silane molecules. Then, the nanocomposites with high dielectric coti-stant and high thermal conductivity were prepared by a grafting to method [115].
