Abstract:
1. A composition of matter comprising at least one herringbone graphitic-carbon-nanofiber/polymer brush, wherein there are covalently bound acrylate polymers located at, and directly connected to, carbon-atom surface sites on said at least one herringbone graphitic-carbon-nanofiber/polymer brush, wherein said at least one herringbone graphitic-carbon-nanofiber/polymer brush includes GCNF-poly(n-butyl acrylate), GCNF-poly(iso-butyl methacrylate), GCNF-poly(tert-butyl acrylate) or GCNF-poly(acrylic acid) and wherein an average surface density of polymer brush chains is at least approximately 3 polymer chains/10 nm
