A carbon nanotube (CNT) surface was successfully modified using the Ozone treatment for use as the reinforcement for polymer matrix composites. These treatments are aimed to disperse the CNTs uniformly in the resin matrix, as well as to provide the CNT surface with chemical functionalities for adhesion with silicone resin. Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy are performed to evaluate the changes in chemical structure and surface functional groups arising from the O3 and treatments, confirming the efficiency of the processes. The practical implications of the surface functional groups for improving the interfacial adhesion in CNT–silicone composites are discussed. |
