4-Chlorobenzoyl (CB) group-attached multi-walled carbon nanotube (c-MWNT) was prepared via a direct Friedel-Crafts acylation of MWNT with 4-chlorobenzoic acid (CBA) in a P2O5/poly(phosphoric acid) medium. c-MWNT with a maximum chlorine content of 5.3 wt% (CB group content of 20.9 wt%) was obtained by controlling the amount of CBA during the reaction. Using a self-condensation polymerization of 4-chlorobenzenethiol (CBT) to poly(phenylene sulfide) (PPS), MWNT-g-PPS was prepared by adding c-MWNT of chlorine content of 5.3 wt% during the self-polymerization of CBT and removing homo PPS after polymerization in order to increase the interfacial interaction between PPS and MWNT. Thermal and surface properties of the MWNT-g-PPS were characterized. The results showed that PPS was formed on the surface of c-MWNT by the condensation of c-MWNT and CBT.

Friedel-Crafts 직접 아실화 반응을 이용하여 P2O5/폴리인산 매질에서 다중벽 탄소나노튜브(MWNT)와 4-클로로벤조산(CBA)을 반응시켜 클로로벤조일(CB)기가 도입된 MWNT(c-MWNT)를 제조하였다. 이때 반응시키는 CBA양을 조절하여 염소원자 함량이 최대 5.3 wt%(CB기 함량 20.86 wt%)인 c-MWNT를 얻었다. 한편, 열가소성 엔지니어링 플라스틱 소재인 폴리(페닐렌 설파이드) (PPS)와 MWNT의 계면접착력을 증가시키기 위하여, 4-클로로벤젠티올(CBT)의 자기축합에 의한 PPS 중합시 c-MWNT를 함께 넣고 중합시킨 후 호모 PPS를 제거하여 MWNT-g-PPS를 얻었다. 이 MWNT-g-PPS의 열 및 표면 특성들을 분석하였으며, c-MWNT와 CBT가 반응하여 c-MWNT 표면에 PPS가 생성되었음을 확인하였다.
