STM investigation of carbon nanotubes connected by functional groups

Chemical functionalization of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is essential for many applications. Attachment of functional groups to nanotubes can dramatically increase the solubility of the nanotube material. Sidewall functional groups should react with polymers and improve the mechanical properties of nan...
