Journal Article 2024 03 01 In this paper, the chemical functionalization of carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT-COOH) by 1,2-phenylenediamine, have been investigated. MWNT-benzimidazole is obtained through MWNT-Amide reaction with POCl3 after 72h, which is confirmed by FT-IR, SEM, TGA, and elemental analysis. These functionalizations have been chosen due to –NH2 and NHCO active sites in MWNT-Amide for future application.
