Before mixing and coagulation particles of MWCNT were covered with PS nanospheres by microemulsion polymerization to increase their dispersibility and compatibility with the matrix. Microemulsion polymerization was carried out under sonication in the presence of surfactants and a cross-linking agent. The structure of modified MWCNT filler was revealed by SEM and TEM microscopy analyses. They show that PS is well grafted onto surface of MWCNT in form of ca 30 nm nanospheres or as ca 3-8 nm PS film layer.
