In this study, we reported the feasibility of phenyl glycidyl ether (PGE) as an effective noncovalent functionalization agent and suggested a facile and low-temperature process that applied high-speed rotation based on a planetary centrifugal mixer to improve the dispersion of multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) in the polyamide 6 (PA6) composite. PGE molecules were introduced on MWCNTs based on the n-n* interaction, resulting in enhanced MWCNT dispersion by preventing of the aggregation between the MWCNTs due to the van der Waals force. The tensile strength of the PA6 composite fiber filled with 1 wt% MWCNTs was improved up to 31.8% by the PGE treatment, indicating that PGE molecules were an effective noncovalent functionalization agent.
