The presence of covalently-linked MPIs on the surfaces of amine functionalized MWCNTs was confirmed by Raman spectroscopy and thermal analysis. Nanocomposites of polybutylene terephthalate – poly(tetramethylene oxide) – (PBT/PTMO) with modified nanotubes show higher values of Young's modulus, elongation at break, and crystallization temperature in comparison to non-modified ones.en2666-52392021https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Multifunctional initiators of surface-initiated radical polymerizationMWCNTsNanoarchitectonicsNanocompositesSurface modificationIngenieurwissenschaftenTechnische ChemieJournal Article10.15480/882.428610.1016/j.apsadv.2021.10010410.15480/882.4286Other
