Zusammenfassung:	The effect of functionalization of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) on the thermal stbility of MWCNT/epoxy nanocomposites was investigated. Epoxy-based nanocomposites reinforced with MWCNTs with and without functionalization were prepared. The thermal stability of nanocomposites was characterized using thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). Experimental results showed that functionalization of MWCNTs enhanced the decomposition temperature of MWCNTs reinforced nanocomposite compared to those containing pristine MWCNTs.
