TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - INORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Components: The functional groups comprise fluorine.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Components: The carbon nanotubes and carbon fibers comprise single wall carbon nanotubes and/or multiple wall carbon nanotubes. The carbon nanotubes of the wafer are single wall carbon nanotubes. The carbon nanotubes have functional groups attached to the side walls that bridge between the walls of the nanotubes and the polymer. The carbon fibers comprise functional groups (F1) located on the ends of the nanotubes and/or along the side walls of the nanotubes. The ethyl vinyl acetate has a melt index of 2 - 800 g/10 mn as determined by ASTM D1238 procedure with a temperature of 190degreesC and a load of 2.16 kg; a density of 0.92 - 0.95 g/cm3. The ethyl vinyl acetate has a vinyl acetate content of 20 - 30%. The weight ratio of ethyl vinyl acetate to nanotubes is 0.005 - 1. (III) comprises an aqueous dispersion of carbon fibers and ethyl vinyl acetate. Preferred Composition: The carbon nanotubes, carbon fibers and fluorinated carbon nanotubes are present in a concentration of less than 50 (preferably 0.1 - 40) wt.%. (I) is an aqueous dispersion. The carbon nanotubes of the wafer are present in a concentration of less than 1 (preferably less than 0.5) wt.%. The carbon nanotubes are present in a concentration of 1 - 50 wt.%.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Components: The functional groups comprise fluorine.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - POLYMERS - Preferred Components: The polymer is PEI, polyimide, poly ether sulfone (PES), poly phenyl sulfone (PPS), per fluoro alkoxy (PFA), fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP), ethylene tri fluoro ethylene (ETFE) poly sulfone, polystyrene, poly ether ketone (PEK), poly ether ketone ketone (PEKK), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyolefin (PO), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), styrene block co-polymer, styrene-butadiene rubber, nylon in the form of polyether block polyamide (PEBA), polyetheretherketone (PEEK), poly(vinylidenefluroide), poly(tetraflurorethylene) (PTFE), polyethylene, polypropylene, poly(vinylchloride) (PVC) and/or ethyl vinyl acetate or their copolymers; or a multifunctional polymer having at least two functional groups that are covalently bonded with carbon nanotubes. The polymer is covalently bonded to the nanotubes to form polymer-nanotube structures that can self order or the polymer chains are cross-linked by the nanotubes. The fluorinated carbon nanotubes and the carbon nanotubes of the wafer are covalently bonded to the polymer and are mixed throughout the polymer. The polymer and fluorinated carbon nanotubes are coated onto the surface of the article.Preferred Method: The carbon fibers comprise functional groups that are covalently bonded with the polymer through the extrusion. The composite is fed from the extruder (preferably twin screw extruder) to a shaping apparatus (preferably rollers, injection molds and/or compression molds) where the composite is formed into an article having a desired shape and size, particularly the composite is fed from the extruder and coated onto an article to provide a layer of the composite on a surface of the article.
