Substrate containers formed from improved compositions comprise a polymer and carbon nanotubes to provide enhanced characteristics. In some embodiments, the carbon fibers, e.g., nanotubes, can be mechanically blended or incorporated into the polymer, while in some embodiments carbon nanotubes also may be covalently bonded to the polymer to form corresponding covalent materials. In particular, the polymer can be covalently bonded to the side walls of the carbon nanotubes to form a composite with particularly desirable mechanical properties. The processing of the nanotubes can be facilitated by the dispersion of the nanotubes in an aqueous solution comprising a hydrophylic polymer, such as ethyl vinyl acetate. A dispersion of nanotubes can be combined with a polymer in an extrusion process to blend the materials under high shear, such as in an extruder.

The method of claim 1 wherein the carbon fibers are present at a concentration of less than about 50 percent by weight. 3. The method of claim 1 wherein the carbon fibers are present at a concentration from about 0.1 percent by weight to about 40 percent by weight. 4. The method of claim 1 wherein the side walls of the carbon fibers are functionalized by being fluorinated for covalently bonding with the thermoplastic polymer. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the thermoplastic polymer is chosen from polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyolefins (PO), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), styrene block co-polymers, nylon in the form of polyether block polyamide (PEBA), polyetheretherketone (PEEK), poly(vinylidenefluoride), poly(tetrafluororethylene) (PTFE), polyethylene, polypropylene, poly(vinylchloride) (PVC), ethyl vinyl acetate and blends and copolymers thereof. 6.
