AbstractWe have described a novel experimental technique to separate nanotubes from other unwanted carbon species in arc generated carbon soot. A conjugated polymer was used to bind to nanotubes in solution. The resultant hybrid was soluble while extraneous carbon material formed a sediment at the bottom of the sample bottle. This process was monitored using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) which showed that 63% of nanotubes were kept in solution while 98.1% of impurities were rejected. Optimal polymer characteristics for nanotube solubility were identified using geometry optimisation and experimental evidence. It was calculated that a successful polymer has a flat shaped helical backbone with solvent solubilising groups projected outwards. This is achieved with the following polymer characteristics, two solvent solubilising groups on a twist allowing π-conjugated backbone.

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrometer was widely applied to physics, chemistry and biomedicine. This research provided possible electron and valence information of environmental samples interaction through high sensitivity. The EPR signals of transition metals and organic radicals were distinguished well. Three kinds of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) (MW50, MW30 and MWG) had strong EPR signals. Addition of transition metals may be a suitable way to decrease environmentally persistent free radicals (EPFRs). The potential risks of EPFRs in BC and the reactive free electron in transition metals must be addressed to ensure their safe and scientific absorption application.
