Functionalization of single-walled carbon nanotubes using isotropic plasma treatment: Resonant Raman spectroscopy study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Functionalization of single-walled carbon nanotubes sSWNTsd by isotropic plasma treatment was studied using resonant Raman spectroscopy. It was shown that plasma-induced functionalization results in the uniaxial isotropic constriction of the nanotubes but preserves their overall structural integrity. It was demonstrated that NH3 ·H2O and hexamethyldisiloxan plasmas yield various types of conductivity for semiconducting SWNTs. © 2005 American Institute of Physics. fDOI: 10.1063/1.1913801g

متن کاملLength scales in orientational order of vertically aligned single walled carbon nanotubes
We have studied the orientational order in films of vertically aligned single walled carbon nanotubes, by means of resonant Raman spectroscopy, resonant X-ray absorption, and direct imaging. These methods investigate the hierarchical morphology at different length scales. Here, we discuss the systematic comparison of orientational order as function of wavelength in films with different inherent...

Toluene and benzene were eliminated using multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). In order to investigate influence of acid treatment on the MWCNTs adsorption capacities, the MWCNTs were functionalized by nitric acid (10 M) under reflux conditions for 2 h. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy were employed to confirm the formation of functional groups on the nanotubes su...
