The overall goal of this procedure is to offer a straightforward strategy for grafting multiwalled carbon nanotubes by polystyrene chains, which mediates a pro-molecular self-assembly and anisotropic patchiness. This method can help to modulate th

A procedure for the synthesis of polystyrene-grafted multiwalled carbon nanotubes using successive chemical modification steps to selectively introduce the polymer chains to the sidewalls and their self-assembly via anisotropic patchiness is presented.
