Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are crystalline, tubular, carbon structures with extraordinary mechanical, chemical, optical and electrical properties. In this regard the possibility to realize a fully integrated nanotube-reinforced polymer system represents a promise for the preparation of composite materials with outstanding mechanical and multi-functional features. It is the aim of this work to consider the approaches to chemical functionalization of CNTs and to account for the advances that have been produced so far in the processing of polymer nanocomposites.
