TI  - Grafting of Chitosan and Chitosantrimethoxylsilylpropyl Methacrylate on Single 
      Walled Carbon Nanotubes-Synthesis and Characterization.
PG  - 6-13
AB  - Acid functionalized single walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were grafted to 
      chitosan by first reacting the oxidized CNTs with thionyl chloride to form 
      acyl-chlorinated CNTs. This product was subsequently dispersed in chitosan and 
      covalently grafted to form CNT-chitosan. CNT-chitosan was further grafted onto 
      3-trimethoxysilylpropyl methacrylate by free radical polymerization conditions, 
      to yield CNT-g-chitosan-g-3-trimethoxysilylpropyl methacrylate (TMSPM), hereafter 
      referred to as CNT-chitosan-3-TMSPM. These composites were characterized by 
      Fourier Transform Infrared Resonance Spectroscopy (FTIR), carbon-13 nuclear 
      magnetic resonance ((13)C NMR), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), scanning 
      electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The 
      composite showed improved thermal stability and could be of great potential use 
      in bone tissue engineering.
