ABSTRACT:
The functionalized fibrils have a compn. of the formula [CnHL]Rm, wherein Cn is surface C of a substantially cylindrical, graphitic nanotube having a length/diam. ratio of >5 and a diam. of <0.5 .mu.m or graphitic fibril being substantially free of pyrolytically deposited C; n is an integer; L is a no. <0.1n; m is a no. <0.5 n; R is selected from SO3H, COOH, NH2, OH, CHO, CN, COCl, halide, COSH, SH, COOR', SR', SiR'3, Si(OR')yR'3-y', Si(OSiR'2)OR', R'', Li, AR'2, Hg-X, TlZ2 and Mg-X; y .ltoreq.3; R' = alkyl, aryl, cycloalkyl, aralkyl, or cycloaryl; R'' = fluoroalkyl, fluoroaryl, fluorocycloalkyl, or fluoroaralkyl; x = halide; z = carboxylate or trifluoroacetate. The compn. is formed by reacting the surface C with an appropriate reagent under conditions sufficient to form functionalized nanotubes having the formula [CnHL]Rm. The functionalized C nanotubes are used for manuf. of reinforced ceramics.
