Through chemical functionalization of single‐walled carbon nanotubes, the prerequisites for
possible applications of such nanostructures are established. The derivatized tubes differ …

Carbon nanotubes can be functionalized via amidation and esterification of the nanotube-
bound carboxylic acids. The solubility of these functionalized carbon nanotubes makes it …

Fluorescence has been observed directly across the band gap of semiconducting carbon
nanotubes. We obtained individual nanotubes, each encased in a cylindrical micelle, by …

In this Account we highlight the experimental evidence in favor of our view that carbon
nanotubes should be considered as a new macromolecular form of carbon with unique …

A very general and versatile method for functionalizing different types of carbon nanotubes
is described, using the 1, 3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides. Approximately one …

Single-wall carbon nanotubes pack into crystalline ropes that aggregate into tangled
networks due to strong van der Waals attraction. Aggregation acts as an obstacle to most …

Despite the extraordinary promise of single-wall carbon nanotubes, their realistic application
in materials and devices has been hindered by processing and manipulation difficulties …

Carbon nanotubes are functionalized by bovine serum albumin (BSA) proteins via diimide-
activated amidation under ambient conditions. The nanotube-BSA conjugates thus obtained …

Climate reconstructions reveal unprecedented warming in the past century; however, little is
known about trends in aspects such as the monsoon. We reconstructed the monsoon winds …

Single-walled and multiple-walled carbon nanotubes were functionalized with a polystyrene
copolymer, poly (styrene-co-p-(4-(4 '-vinylphenyl)-3-oxabutanol)). The functionalization …
