Microwave assisted covalent functionalization of C(60)@SWCNT peapods.

چکیده
The covalent functionalization of the external wall of C(60)@SWCNT peapods, by in situ generated aryl diazonium salts, assisted by microwave irradiation is reported. Spectroscopic, thermal and microscopy characterization was performed. Electrochemistry revealed the three reversible reductions of encapsulated C(60), however, shifted towards positive potentials when compared with those of intact C(60).

The Impact of Sonication on the Surface Quality of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes.
Sonication process is regularly adopted for dispersing single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in an aqueous medium. This can be achieved by either covalent functionalization of SWCNTs with strong acid or by noncovalent functionalization using dispersants that adsorb onto the surface of SWCNTs during dispersion. Because the dispersion process is usually performed using sonication, unintentional...
متن کاملA novel SWCNT platform bearing DOTA and β-cyclodextrin units. "One shot" multidecoration under microwave irradiation.
The functionalization of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) via microwave-assisted grafting reactions enables efficient multidecoration in a single step. A novel water-soluble SWCNT platform was prepared via the simple 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides under dielectric heating. Thanks to a single grafting reaction the CNT surface binds in a 1 : 1 ratio an amino acidic β-cyclod...
متن کاملReactive fillers based on SWCNTs functionalized with matrix-based moieties for the production of epoxy composites with superior and tunable properties.
Composite materials based on epoxy matrix and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are able to exhibit outstanding improvements in physical properties when using a tailored covalent functionalization with matrix-based moieties containing terminal amines or epoxide rings. The proper choice of grafted moiety and integration protocol makes it feasible to tune the composite physical properties. ...
متن کاملEngineering Nanocarbon Interfaces for Electron Transfer
Electron transfer events involving single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) play an integral role in a variety of applications, ranging from nanotube covalent functionalization to SWCNT-based photovoltaics. In the first part of this thesis, we explore ground-state electron transfer events, during the diazonium derivatization of carbon nanotubes, with the objective of modulating the extent of cov...
متن کاملMicrowave-Assisted Preparation of Carbon Nanotubes with Versatile Functionality
Since the accidental discovery of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) during the synthesis of fullerene by Iijima (Iijima 1991), tremendous research has been done on CNTs. CNTs are under intense investigation owing to their spectacular mechanical and electrical properties (Vazquez, Georgakilas, and Prato 2002). Many ways are currently available for the production of CNTs, which include arc-discharge (Journ...
