Functionalization of Carbon Nanotubes
Albeit initially reported by a Russian group and reported again by Oberlin and co-workers (Oberlin et al., 1976), carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were first brought to the attention of greater scientific community by Ijima in 1991. It was not until 1991 that CNTs came to limelight unfolding its exotic properties. Following this report, academic interest in this onedimensional nanomaterial has grown rem...
متن کاملFunctionalization of carbon nanotubes using phenosafranin.
Spectroscopic analysis and atomic force microscopy (AFM) phase imaging studies show self-assembly of phenosafranin (PSF) to multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs). The shift in absorption spectra is associated with charge transfer of valence electrons from PSF to electron accepting sites on the MWNTs. The Raman-active disorder modes are used to fingerprint PSF attachment to MWNTs via defect state...
متن کاملFunctionalization of carbon nanotubes
The functionalization of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is a very actively discussed topic in contemporary nanotube literature because the planned modification of SWCNT properties is believed to open the road towards real nanotechnology applications. In this contribution, some recent results are reported on the subject. Covalent attachment of functional groups, their influence on tube-tu...
متن کاملNoncovalent Functionalization of Carbon Nanotubes
Within the past decades extensive research has shed light into the structure, reactivity and properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) [1–3]. This new carbon allotrope is theoretically constructed by rolling up a graphene sheet into a cylinder with the hexagonal rings joining seamlessly. Commonly, carbon nanotubes are classified into single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) which consist of one cyli...
متن کاملAsymmetric end-functionalization of carbon nanotubes.
Many microor nanostructured objects owe their functionality to asymmetry. For instance, bifunctional molecules bearing two different groups at their ends are essential components of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) with tailored surface properties. While one of these groups serves to anchor the molecule to the substrate surface, the group at the opposite end is exposed on the SAM surface. SAMs ...
