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.
