Synthesis and characterization of water soluble single-walled carbon nanotube graft copolymers.

چکیده
Poly(aminobenzene sulfonic acid) (PABS) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) were covalently attached to single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) to form water-soluble graft copolymers. Quantitative near-IR (NIR) spectroscopic studies of these SWNT graft copolymers indicate a water solubility of about 5 mg/mL, and atomic force microscopy studies show a fairly uniform length and diameter. On the basis of thermogravimetric analysis, the loading of SWNTs in the graft copolymers is estimated to be 30% for SWNT-PABS and 71% for SWNT-PEG. NIR spectroscopic studies of SWNT-PABS show that this graft copolymer has a ground state that is a hybrid of the electronic structures of the isolated PABS and SWNT macromolecules.

In this work the synthesis of polyaniline/chitosan/functionalized single- walled carbon nanotube nanocomposite is carried out. For this purpose single -walled carbon nanotubes were reacted with thionyl chloride to change the hydroxyl to acyl chloride groups for improving the react ability. In other step, aniline monomers and chitosan were polymerized in the presence of Iron (III) chloride to sy...

The effects of Single Walled Carbon Nanotube (SWCNT) on mixed convection in a cavity are investigated numerically. The problem is studied for different Richardson numbers (0.1-10), volume fractions of nanotubes (0-1%), and aspect ratio of the cavity (0.5-2.5) when the Grashof number is equal to 103. The volume fraction of added nanotubes to Water as base fluid are lowers than 1% to make dilute ...
