copolymer, poly (styrene-co-p-(4-(4 '-vinylphenyl)-3-oxabutanol)). The functionalization
reaction conditions were designed for the esterification of the nanotube-bound carboxylic
acids. The polymer-attached carbon nanotubes are soluble in common organic solvents,
making it possible to characterize the samples using not only solid-state but also solution-
based techniques. The solubility has also allowed an intimate mixing of the functionalized …
