title: Synthesis of multi-walled carbon nanotube/polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane nanohybrid by utilizing click chemistry.
abstract: A new hybrid material consisting of a polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) and carbon nanotube (CNT) was synthesized by a simple and versatile approach entailing click coupling between azide moiety-functionalized POSS and alkyne-functionalized multi-walled CNTs. This approach provides a simple and convenient route to efficiently functionalize a wide variety of nanoscale nanostructure materials on the surface of CNTs.
