Few attempt to study the effects of chemical functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the electrical conductivity of nanocomposites, instead to increase dispersion and interfacial bonding strength between CNTs and polymer matrix for improvement of mechanical properties. Therefore, in this study the electrical conductivity of two types’ chemical functionalized (Carboxylated and Octadecylated) multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), non ionic surfactant additive MWCNTs and as produced MWCNTs epoxy
