More Information
Summary:Graphitic nanotubes, which includes tubular fullerenes (commonly called ''buckytubes'') and fibrils, which are functionalized by chemical substitution or by adsorption of functional moieties. More specifically the invention relates to single walled carbon nanotubes having diameters than 5 nanometers which are uniformly or non-uniformly substituted with chemical moieties or upon which certain cyclic compounds are adsorbed and to complex structures comprised of such functionalized nanotubes linked to one another. The invention also relates to methods for introducing functional groups onto the surface of such nanotubes. The invention further relates to uses for functionalized single walled carbon nanotubes.
