Abstract
In the present paper we describe a new way for the covalent functionalization of carbon nanohorns by means of anionic polymerization with the "grafting to" approach. Polyisoprene homopolymers, as well as polyisoprene-b-polystyrene block copolymers have been attached on the surface of carbon nanohorns. The functionalized carbon nanostructures have been fully characterized by means of complementary spectroscopic techniques, electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and light scattering.
