A branched random copolymer, poly[(hydroxyethyl acrylate)‐ r ‐( N ‐vinylcarbazole)] (BPHNV), was synthesized with the aim of uniformly dispersing multiwall carbon nanotubes in epoxy matrix, improving the thermal conductivity and mechanical properties while keeping the excellent electrical resistivity of the thermosets.
