The unidirectional growth of materials to form nanowires or nanotubes has attracted
enormous interest in recent years. Within the different classes of tubes made of organic or …

In this review article, we explore covalent chemical strategies for the functionalization of
carbon‐nanotube surfaces. In recent years, nanotubes have been treated as chemical …

We report a simple process to solubilize high weight fraction single-wall carbon nanotubes
in water by the nonspecific physical adsorption of sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate. The …

Heterogeneous materials in which the characteristic length scale of the filler material is in
the nanometer range—ie, nanocomposites—is currently one of the fastest growing areas of …

Bioapplications of carbon nanotubes have been predicted and explored ever since the
discovery of these one-dimensional carbon allotropes. Indeed, carbon nanotubes have …

Through functionalization of carbon nanotubes, ie, the attachment of appropriate chemical
functionalities onto their conjugated sp 2 carbon scaffold, the prerequisites for faciliating the …

Chemical sensing has a vital role in promoting security and welfare. Functionalized carbon
nanotubes (CNTs) possess unique electronic, mechanical and chemical properties …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) combine in a unique way high electrical conductivity, high
chemical stability and extremely high mechanical strength. These special properties of both …

The reactions of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with succinic or glutaric acid acyl
peroxides in o-dichlorobenzene at 80− 90° C resulted in the addition of 2-carboxyethyl or 3 …

Carbon nanotubes have attracted great interdisciplinary interest because of their unique
structure and properties. However, carbon‐nanotube research is challenged by several …
