چکیده
Suitably modified linear conjugated poly(arylene ethynylene)s are able to assist effective debundling and dispersion of crude as-prepared single-walled carbon nanotube powders in organic solvents, the dispersion of which is effected via a surface coating mechanism and, to some extent, in a size-selective fashion.

Dithiafulvenyl-grafted phenylene ethynylene polymers as selective and reversible dispersants for single-walled carbon nanotubes.
Phenylene ethynylene-based π-conjugated polymers grafted with dithiafulvenyl groups on their side chains were found to be efficient in dispersing single-walled carbon nanotubes in a selective and controllable way.
متن کاملConducting composite materials from the biopolymer kappa-carrageenan and carbon nanotubes
Conducting composite films containing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were prepared by using the biopolymer kappa-carrageenan (KC) as a dispersant. Rheological studies indicated that 0.5% w/v was the appropriate KC concentration for dispersing CNTs. Our results showed that multiwalled nanotubes (MWNTs) required less sonic energy than single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs) for the dispersion process to be comp...
متن کاملGeneric approach for dispersing single-walled carbon nanotubes: the strength of a weak interaction.
A generic noncovalent approach for dispersing high concentrations of individual single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) in organic as well as aqueous solutions of synthetic block copolymers is presented. It is suggested that a weak, long-ranged entropic repulsion among polymer-decorated tubes acts as a barrier that prevents the tubes from approaching the attractive part of the intertube potential...
متن کاملNon-covalent interactions between carbon nanotubes and conjugated polymers.
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are interest to many different disciplines including chemistry, physics, biology, material science and engineering because of their unique properties and potential applications in various areas spanning from optoelectronics to biotechnology. However, one of the drawbacks associated with these materials is their insolubility which limits their wide accessibility for many ...
متن کاملChapter 2: A Comparison of the Optical Limiting Properties of Different Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube/Conjugated Polymer Dispersions
The effect of the type of polymer used to disperse Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWNTs) on the optical limiting performances of the resulting dispersions was studied. One conjugated polymer Poly(9,9-di-n-hexylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl) (PFO) possessing a flexible backbone, and two conjugated polymers Poly(2,5-dioctylphenylene1,4-ethynylene) (PPE), and Poly(9,9-dioctylfluorenyl-2,7-yleneethynylene) (...
