One-pot polymer conjugation on carbon nanotubes through simultaneous π–π stacking and the Biginelli reaction

The Biginelli reaction has been utilized as an effective click reaction to collaborate with π–π stacking to prepare carbon nanotube-polymer conjugates. The synthesized polymers are successfully anchored on carbon nanotube surface via ‘grafting to’ strategy, and the obtained carbon nanotube-polymer composites possessing characteristic properties of anchored polymer can be well dispersed in general solution to expand carbon nanotubes application realm.
