Site-Selective Functionalization of Carbon Nanotubes

Site‐selective functionalization of nano‐ or macroscopic segments of carbon nanotubes is accomplished using focused ion beams followed by site‐selective derivatization of the segments with nanostructures and biomolecules (see Figure). Such hybrid nanostructures open up new possibilities for nanoscal...

Summary:Site‐selective functionalization of nano‐ or macroscopic segments of carbon nanotubes is accomplished using focused ion beams followed by site‐selective derivatization of the segments with nanostructures and biomolecules (see Figure). Such hybrid nanostructures open up new possibilities for nanoscale addressing, fingerprinting, recognition, and separation.
