In this study epoxy nanocomposites of three differently modified carbon nanotubes were prepared and their thermal, electrical and mechanical properties were investigated. Acidic oxidation, amine grafting and Friedel-Crafts reactions were employed to prepare modified carbon nanotubes. It was found that nanocomposites obtained by Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction have superior thermal and electrical conductivity. Therefore, the addition of a very low amount of benzene tricarboxylic acid (BTC) nanotubes can result in a considerable improvement in the thermal and electrical conductivity of the resulting nanocomposite.
