A new method to graft a large number of long polymer chains or small functional molecules onto multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) indirectly is reported. First, MWNTs were slightly functionalized by reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) copolymerization of styrene and maleic anhydride using the dithioester groups attached to MWNTs as RAFT agents. The highly reactive maleic anhydride groups could further react with a large number of long polymer chains or small functional molecules with hydroxyl or amino group easily. The resulted MWNTs have good solubility in organic solvents and water; the perfect structure of MWNTs is altered very little from the information of Raman spectra.
