Abstract
Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) was grafted onto the multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) using ultrasound in water and modified MWCNT/PVA nanocomposite was prepared. Modified MWCNT had a good affinity with PVA matrix and showed improved dispersion state along with uniform properties. Therefore, the electrical percolation threshold was observed at 0.1 wt% MWCNT. 3.0 wt% modified MWCNT/PVA composite had 50% higher tensile strength, 430% higher elongation at break, and 100% greater modulus. Since the modified MWCNT acted as a nucleation agent, the crystallization temperature increased to $8.5^{\circ}C$ and the crystallinity increased to 11.5% at 5.0 wt% loading concentration.
