The structure and hydrophilic–hydrophobic properties of SWCNTs before and after oxidative functionalization were studied by standard porosimetry method. The correlation between the values of specific surface of hydrophilic and hydrophobic pores for the two types of SWCNTs is discussed. The capacity...
