ABSTRACT:

In this paper, the chemical functionalization of carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT-COOH) by Methyl 2-(2-amino-4-oxothiazol-5(4H)-ylidene) acetate (MWNT-Amide) and latter modification by phenylhydrazine for producing thiazole derivative (MWNT-Thiazole) have been investigated. All products were characterized by FT-IR, Raman spectroscopy, SEM, elemental analysis, TGA, DTG. These functionalizations have been chosen due to active sites of carbonyl and C=C groups in MWNT-Amide and the creating thiazole derivative on the MWNTs for future application.

KEYWORDS:

Nanotube carbon; Thiazole derivative; Functionalization; TGA
