英文摘要：

This paper concisely reviewed the mechanical performances of carbon nanotubes and existing several kinds of high strength polymer materials as well as the functionalization of carbon nanotubes. Functional carbon nanotubes, especially the carbon nanotubes grafted densely with high performance polymers, i.e. “polymer-grafted carbon nanotubers” may be the key component of ultra high strength materials and used to prepare the space cable in the future.
