To improve the CNT's dispersion, we tried to chemically modify the surface of MWNT with the butyllithium and the hexyllithium solution in sonicated reactor. The functionalized-MWNTs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer(FT-IR) and Raman spectrophotometer. Also, we investigated the amount of alkyl moiety incorporated into MWNT's surface with Thermal gravimetric analyzer(TGA) and dispersibility in various organic solvents. Finally, we could find organic content was about 5% of the functionalized MWNT and dispersibility was enhanced in some solvents having intermediate solubility parameter.

본 연구에서는 CNT의 분산성을 개선하고자 다중벽 탄소나노튜브(multi-walled carbon nanotube, MWNT)에 butyllithium solution 및 hexyllithium solution을 이용하여 표면을 화학적으로 개질하였다. 개질된 MWNT는 적외선 분광 분석 및 Raman spectrophotometer를 이용하여 MWNT에 작용기가 도입되었는지를 확인하였다. 또한, 열중량분석기(Thermogravimetric analysis, TGA)를 이용하여 작용기가 도입된 MWNT의 열적 성질을 측정하였으며, MWNT 및 개질된 MWNT를 다양한 용매에 따른 분산성을 확인하였다.
