Treating MWCNTs with an acidic solution (concentrated H 2 SO 4 /HNO 3 ; 3:1) and subsequently with succinic acid peroxide leads to MWCNTs functionalized with carboxyl groups on their sidewalls (or surfaces). These MWCNT‐COOH were converted to MWCNT‐COCl and further to MWCNT‐NH 2 . The PU was covalently coated onto the sidewalls (or surfaces) of the MWCNT by in situ polymerization of TDI under ultrasound in the presence of MWCNT‐NH 2 . The results show that PU is chemically tethered to the MWCNT sidewalls (or surfaces) via the ∼HNCONH∼ linkage, with a thickness in the range of approximately 2 to 5 nm, and the amount of grafted PU is about 34 wt.‐%.
