Abstract A halogen atom terminated Polystyrene (PSt) was prepared by means of atom transfer radical polymerization. Then, the halogen atom was converted into ‐N 3 group and a ‐N 3 terminated PSt was obtained. Finally PSt was grafted onto the surface of single walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) by the reaction of azide grou…
