Abstract: This review critically examines the interactions between carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and polymers, highlighting the significance of interfacial dynamics on the mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties of polymer nanocomposites. Both experimental techniques and computational modeling approaches are discussed to understand CNT–polymer compatibility. The study addresses functionalization strategies to improve interaction, challenges of dispersion, processing techniques, toxicity concerns, and emerging applications, culminating in future directions for smart, sustainable materials development.
