Templated Assembly of Semiconductor and Insulator Nanoparticles at the Surface of Covalently Modified Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes

Reported is the preparation and characterization of phosphonic acid-modified and alkoxy silane-modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Also reported is the use of these modified MWCNTs to template the assembly of titanium dioxide and silica nanoparticles, respectively. Some potential applica...

Summary:Reported is the preparation and characterization of phosphonic acid-modified and alkoxy silane-modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Also reported is the use of these modified MWCNTs to template the assembly of titanium dioxide and silica nanoparticles, respectively. Some potential applications of these findings are considered.
