Sufficient conditions for both delay-independent and delay-dependent global exponential synchronization are obtained based on Lyapunov functional method. It is shown that, for some coupled chaotic systems and nonlinear coupling functions, if the coupling delay is less than a positive threshold, then the coupled network will be synchronized. On the other hand, with the increase of coupling delay, the synchronizability of the coupled network will be restrained, even eventually de-synchronized.
