In this study, MWCNTs were functionalized with nitric acid. The prepared MWCNTs were incorporated in polyester fabrics by the conventional dyeing process. The dyeing process was carried out by the exhaustion method. The polyester fabric was immersed in the MWCNTs dispersion and maintained in motion for a certain period of time and temperature. The effect of MWCNT functionalization on morphological, thermal conductivity properties of fabrics were investigated. Colorfastness properties of dyed fabrics were also studied.
