This study establishes that the structure of the linker group between the hydrophobic and hydrophilic units in the new surfactants 1–13 plays an important role in the dispersibility of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) in water. The systematic var... Read More about Key role of the linker in pyrene-linker-carboxylate surfactants for the efficient aqueous dispersion of multiwalled carbon nanotubes.

Easily reversible aqueous dispersion/precipitation of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) has been demonstrated using small-molecule non-ionic pyrene-based surfactants, which exhibit lower critical solution temperature (LCST) phase behaviour. The MW... Read More about Reversible Thermal Switching of Aqueous Dispersibility of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes.
