49. As pointed out by a reviewer, this value may be higher than the percentage of carbons on the outermost layer of a perfect MWNT. Since we had rigorously removed the residual, unreacted 3-aminophenoxy-4-benzoic acid 4 from the functionalized VGCNF product and our TGA experiment was reproducible, we could only speculate that the defects on the outermost layer of VGCNF might have allowed the access of the Friedel-Crafts reactant to the layer(s) underneath.
