Table 1.

Grafting ratios in weight loss, wt% (weight percentage of grafted oligomers in total grafted sample weight), grafting concentration (moles of monomer per gram of MWNTs) of MWNTs samples and estimated degree of polymerisation of monomers (repeating monomeric unit), calculated based on TGA profiles (Figure 1). Details of the grafting ratio calculations are described in the ESI Figure 1S–2S
