    Abstract

    Carbon nanotubes have considerable potential for many applications due to their unique physical and chemical properties. In this work, Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNT's) were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition and functionalized with molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanoparticles. The obtained nanostructures were characterized by SEM, TEM, Raman, XRD, XPS and TGA. Hybrid nanostructures of MWCNT's/MoS2 with stable MoS2 layer thickness of ~2 nm was obtained. The functionalized nanotubes showed variations in crystal structure, chemical composition, and thermal response with respect to the uncoated ones, so these structures are expected to have potential use in diverse engineering fields.
