Polymer nanocomposites are developed, for the first time, as transparent films by the covalent addition of polyurethane (PU) prepolymers to trace amounts of functionalized carbon nanotubes, [OH](n)-SWCNTs, via an efficient route using mild reagents. These PU nanocomposites, which were uniformly distributed with SWCNTs via covalent bonding between SWCNTs and the polyurethane network show enhanced mechanical, thermal and conductivity (10(-4) S cm(-1)) properties.
