Organic functionalisation and characterisation of single-walled carbon nanotubes.

چکیده
Since carbon nanotubes (CNTs) display unique structures and remarkable physical properties, a variety of applications have emerged in both materials and life sciences. In terms of applications, the functionalisation of nanotubes is extremely important, as it increases their solubility and processability, and combines the unique properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with those of other classes of materials. A number of methods have been developed, which can be divided into two major approaches: (1) non-covalent supramolecular modifications, and (2) covalent functionalisation. In this tutorial review, we survey the covalent modification of SWCNTs with organic moieties, and illustrate the major analytical techniques routinely used to characterise the functionalised materials.

متن کاملCharacterisation of commercially CVD grown multi-walled carbon nanotubes for paint applications
Commercially grown, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), available in kilogramme quantities from three commercial suppliers have been characterised using a number of analytical techniques. The catalysts used in the growth of the MWNTs are identified by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and different growth mechanisms are postulated to explain the various structures present in the MWN...
متن کاملSynthesis and characterization of functionalized single - walled carbon nanotube/ chitosan/polyaniline nanocomposite
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...
متن کاملOptimisation of microwave absorption of carbon nanotube composites through use of carboxyl-epoxide functional group linkages
Lightweight, flexible and highly efficient microwave absorbing singlewalled carbon nanotube (SWNT)/polymer composites were fabricated through chemical functionalisation to ensure uniform dispersion of SWNTs in a polymer matrix. These composites were used to fabricate thin electromagnetic absorption coatings, which achieve a maximum reflection loss (RL) magnitude of 24 dB at X-band frequencies. ...
