چکیده

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been readily functionalized by microwave activation using two different reactions affording functional derivatives characterized by two orthogonally protected amino groups. The doubly functionalized CNTs can serve as multipurpose, versatile synthons in materials science and biological applications.

Functionalization of the Single-walled Carbon Nanotubes by Sulfur Dioxide and Electric Field Effect, a Theoretical Study on the Mechanism

In this study, kinetics and mechanism of the sulfur dioxide adsorption on the single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNT) are investigated. Three single-walled carbon nanotubes, including the armchair (6,6), chiral (6,5) and zigzag (6,0) CNTs were chosen as the models and the different orientations of SO2 molecule relative to the CNT axis were considered. The B3LYP functional within the 6-3...

Functionalization of carbon nanotubes for applications in materials science and nanomedicine*

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can be functionalized using a variety of efficient protocols. Especially, esterification and amidation reactions are exploited along with 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions. The use of microwaves (MWs) to activate the reactivity of CNTs is also reported. Innovative NMR methodologies can be introduced to investigate the covalent attachment of organic moieties to CNTs.

Microwave-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...

Brominated single walled carbon nanotubes as versatile precursors for covalent sidewall functionalization.

Herein we report on the facile preparation of brominated SWCNTs based on two complementary reductive activation routes. The respective brominated SWCNTs are highly reactive and can be used in nucleophilic substitution reactions and represent versatile starting materials for the generation of sidewall functionalized SWCNTs with a high density of functional moieties.

Polymer-masking for controlled functionalization of carbon nanotubes.

An effective and versatile method for tube-length-specific functionalization of carbon nanotubes through a controllable embedment of vertically-aligned carbon nanotubes into polymer matrices is reported, which allows not only asymmetric functionalization of nanotube sidewalls, but also facile introduction of new properties (e.g. magnetic) onto the region-selectively functionalized carbon nanotu...
