Polyvinylferrocene for Noncovalent Dispersion and Redox-Controlled Precipitation of Carbon Nanotubes in Nonaqueous Media

We report noncovalent dispersion of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in organic liquids with extremely high loading (~2 mg mL[superscript –1]) using polyvinylferrocene (PVF). In contrast to common dispersants, PVF does not contain any conjugated structures or ionic moieties. PVF is also shown to be effective...
