This book was released on 2017-09-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes a series of contemporary techniques and their combinations used for CNTs solubilization, from physical to chemical and biological, applying inorganic and organic compounds, as well as some metal complexes. In some cases, successive steps can be applied, for instance the use of low and high-weight surfactants, or mineral acid treatment for creation of –OH and –COOH groups and their further interaction with organic molecules. Each discussed method leads to an improvement of CNT solubility, frequently a considerable one. The formed dispersions can be stable for long periods of time, from several weeks to some months, and they sometimes even remain stable after centrifugation. Several special studies have been carried out in the areas of influence of solvent and light on CNTs dispersibility, combinations and abilities of surfactants, CNT cytotoxicity, etc. Applications of solubilized CNTs are discussed in this book as well.
Download or read book Noncovalent Functionalization of Carbon Nanotubes written by Claudia Backes and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-02-07 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis, Claudia Backes guides the reader through her multidisciplinary research into the non-covalent functionalization of carbon nanotubes in water. Although one of the most remarkable materials of the 21st century, carbon nanotubes often have limited application because of their intrinsically low solubility and polydispersity. The author shows that rational surfactant design is a powerful tool for chemists because it can unmask the key to solubilization and allow us to tailor nanotube surface and optical properties in a fully reversible fashion. Aspects of organic, physical and analytical chemistry, as well as colloidal sciences are covered in this outstanding work which brings us one step closer to exploiting this super-material to its full potential.

Book excerpt: Nanomaterials are destined to become a discipline as distinct and important as polymers are in chemistry! With the realization that the structure of molecules such as C60 and C70 followed simple geometric principles, it became clear that a great variety of hollow, closed carbon structures, including nanotubes, could be made along the same principles. The modern nanotube can be thought of as the ultimate fiber formed of perfectly closed, seamless shells having unique features, such as mechanical and electronic properties that are very sensitive to its geometry and its dimensions. The nanotube has many uses:

Download or read book Dispersion of Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes in Organic Solvents written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis contains a systematic study of the dispersion of pristine HiPco Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWNTs) in a series of organic solvents. A double beamed UV-Vis-NIR absorption spectrometer coupled with an integrating sphere was employed to demonstrate the dispersibility of SWNTs in different solvents. Raman Spectroscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) were used to confirm the debundling and exfoliation of SWNTs aggregates. An investigation of the solubility of SWNTs in four chlorinated aromatic solvents demonstrated that the similarity in structure between solvent molecules and nanotube sidewall is not a dominant factor to obtain stable SWNT solutions. A comparative study of the solubility of SWNTs between the aromatic solvents and other reported solvents was then conducted, in terms of the solvent solubility parameters, including Hildebrand and Hansen solubility parameters. Although the established correlation between extinction/absorption coefficients as a function of Hildebrand/Hansen solubility parameters indicated there may be a selective debundling of metallic and semiconducting SWNTs in different solvents, this was not confirmed by a detailed Raman investigation. A further study of the dispersion limit of SWNTs in different solvents as a function of the solvent solubility parameters was carried out. Good agreement with literature is demonstrated here in terms of Hildebrand parameters, but not in terms of the Hansen solubility parameters. It has been demonstrated that the degree of dispersion is critically dependent on sample preparation conditions, in particular sonication. Finally, the effect of sonication parameters and solvent properties during the dispersion of SWNTs was investigated. The results indicated that the sonication process is closely dependent on many of the physical parameters of the solvent, including vapour pressure, viscosity, surface tension, density and molecular weight. Longer sonication time and higher sonication power help.
