Outline of Final Research Achievements

Chemical bond formation between polymer and carbon nanotubes through photo-induced formation of polymer side chain radical (bond cleavage induced by dissociative electron capture) has been examined in order to establish novel fabrication method of polymer/carbon nanotube composites. On the basis of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy, the chemical bond formation was confirmed to be achieved through attack of polymer radicals, formed through photo-induced bond cleavage of polymer side chain, to carbon nanotube surfaces. Also, photothermal conversion characteristics of the fabricated composites was evaluated by means of thermography observation.
