  Graphene 2018: Carbon nanotubes used as a thermal stabilizer in polymers
  Author(s): Yeong-Tarng Shieh
  
  We began with the study of various surface-modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNT) for a use as a radical scavenger. Electron spin resonance (ESR) and ultraviolet/visible spectrophotometer (UV/Vis) were used to measure radical scavenging efficiencies of the modified CNT for hydroxyl (OH.) radical and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical, respectively. ESR, UV/Vis, and Raman spectra revealed that all CNT samples were good radical scavengers for both radicals and the radical scavenging efficiencies increased with increasing contents of defect sites on the modified CNT.
