Abstract Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) nanocomposites with the polymer matrix composed of blends of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and polyurethane (PU) were prepared via functionalization of 3,4,5-triflouroaniline (TFA) on MWNTs. The MWNTs/polymer nanocomposites showed a dominantly enhanced elongation due to incorporation of PU molecules in PVDF matrix and the improved MWNTs dispersion in the polymer matrix resulting from functionalization of MWNTs with TFA. The functionalization of TFA on MWNTs was confirmed by the measurements of Raman, FT-IR spectra, SEM, and TEM images. In addition, the dielectric constant of nanocomposites increased with an increase of TFA-functionalized MWNTs in PVDF/PU/MWNTs nanocomposites. The polymer blend nanocomposites incorporating MWNTs may be available as an alternative potential route for the actuator materials.
