Amino-Functionalized Carbon Nanotubes for Binding to Polymers and Biological Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) functionalized with amino groups were prepared via chemical modification of carboxyl groups introduced on the carbon nanotube surface. Two different approaches (amide and amine-moieties) were used to produce the amino-functionalized nanotubes. The aminotermination allows further chemistry of the functionalized SWCNTs and makes possible covalent bonding to polymers and biological systems such as DNA and carbohydrates. The functionalization of the SWCNTs was characterized in detail using FTIR and XPS.

متن کاملOne Pot Chemically Attachment of Amino Groups on Multi walled Carbon Nanotubes Surfaces
Functionalization of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with NH2 groups under a one pot reaction is studied. During the first step of the reaction, Cl and CHCl2 groups were attached to the surfaces of MWCNTs through an electrophilic addition reaction. In the second step of process, Cl atoms were replaced with NH2 and amino groups (ethylene diamine and but...
