In this Final Year Project, the effects of functionalization of carbon nanofibres on its mechanical and thermo-mechanical properties were studied. To this end, vapour-grown carbon nanofibres (VGCNF / CNF) were first functionalized via one-step arylation with in situ generated diazonium salts. Fourie...
