The document discusses carbon nanotube (CNT)/epoxy matrix nanocomposites. It notes that dispersing CNTs homogeneously in the epoxy matrix is important to exploit their potential but is difficult due to aggregation. Methods to improve dispersion include using surfactants or functionalizing CNTs. Functionalization can degrade CNT properties so alternative methods are sought. The properties of CNT/epoxy nanocomposites depend on the degree of CNT dispersion, with higher conductivity achieved above the percolation threshold.
