Solute Solvent Interactions of Polyvinyl Pyrrolidone Wrapped Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes (PVP-SWNTs) in Water by Viscometric Studies
نویسنده
چکیده
Polymer wrapped single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have been synthesized to improve the solubility of SWNTs in water. The present study deals with experiments so as to highlight the solute solvent interactions during the solubilisation of polyvinyl pyrrolidone wrapped single walled carbon nanotubes (PVP-SWNTs) in water by viscometric methods. Viscosity values of both PVP and PVP-SWNTs have been determined in water with different concentrations (0.051.2 mg/ml) at temperatures 298.15, 303.15, 308.15 and 313.15K. The viscosity values have been evaluated in terms of A F (Falken-Hagen coefficient), B J (Jones-Dole coefficient), dB/dt,Δμ 2 ° (contribution per mole of the solute to free), Δμ 1 ° (corresponding value for pure solvent) and η 0 Λ 0 (Walden product). The estimated parameters were discussed in terms of solute solvent interactions.

Progressive addition of hydroxypropylated amylose (AmH), from 0.05 wt% to 4.5 wt%, to single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in aqueous surfactant suspensions quenches the intrinsic near Infra-Red fluorescence of semiconducting SWNTs while dispersions obtained with a same amount of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) remain luminescent. Near Infra-Red emission spectroscopy (fluorescence and Raman scatte...

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have unique properties and are projected to have a major impact in nanoscale electronics, materials science, and nanomedicine. Yet, these potential applications are hindered by the need for sample purification to separate SWNTs from each other and from metallic catalyst and amorphous carbon present in as-synthesized samples. Common purification strategies ...
