Detailed description of the invention
Below by specific embodiment, the present invention is described in further detail, but the present invention is not limited solely to following reality
Execute example.Some nonessential improvement that the present invention is made by the person skilled in the art in this field according to present invention and adjusting still
Belong to protection scope of the present invention.
Embodiment:
Experimental raw used in the present embodiment if no special instructions, all can easily obtain from commercial company.
(1) in the 100ml three-neck flask being equipped with nitrogen siphunculus, it is sequentially added into 30ml dimethyl acetylamide 15g vinyl
Phosphonic acids and 0.4g CNT, put in Ultrasound Instrument by above-mentioned three-neck flask, with the power of 250W ultrasonic 1.5h at 80 DEG C;
(2) in the three-neck flask of step (1), it is passed through nitrogen 0.5h, removes the air in reaction system.
(3) temperature controls, at about 70 DEG C, to add the azo of 0.8g in the three-neck flask of step (2) under nitrogen protection
Bis-isobutyronitrile causes graft polymerization reaction, continues ultrasonic 2h.

8h is reacted under gas shielded.
(5), after reaction terminates, it is cooled to room temperature, filters out unreacted reactant and solid impurity.Then with deionized water and two
Methyl vinyl respectively washs 3 times, removes unreacted monomer and initiator.At 70 DEG C, vacuum drying obtains PVPA grafting
CNT.(infrared spectrum of gained sample, Raman spectrogram and thermogravimetric curve are shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 respectively).
Comparative example
Other steps, with the step of above-described embodiment, only need the most not introduce CNT.
Embodiment gained properties of sample detects:
It can be seen that CNT is after PVPA is grafted from the FT-IR spectrogram of product, P-OH shakes
Dynamic peak is remarkably reinforced, it was demonstrated that being successfully prepared of PVPA grafting carbon nanotube.
D peak obtained by respectively product Raman being tested and G peak integration, the ratio (I of obtained two peak areasD/
IG).Found that the I of PVPA grafting carbon nanotubeD/IGHigher than original carbon nanotubes, this is due to CNT table
The functionalization in face.
