ABSTRACTWe characterize the electric properties of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) dispersed in the polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) composites. In the melt-blended sample, the SWNTs – originally semiconducting – became predominantly metallic. The interaction of the PMMA and SWNT is investigated by the polarized Raman studies. The structure changes in the PMMA and SWNT shows that the anisotropic interactions play important role in SWNT electronic density of states (DOS) changes. The increased metallic SWNT percentage is confirmed by the conductivity and dielectric constant measurements of composite and neat PMMA.

For the first time, using scanning probe microscopy, the supramolecular structures of terbium porphyrin double-decker complexes were observed on single-walled carbon nanotubes surfaces, where the molecules formed a well-ordered self-assembled array.

Oxidized single-walled carbon nanotubes (o-SWNTs) was modified by covalently and noncovalently linking PEG to the o-SWNTs. The influence of oxidation time, PEG molecular weight, and type of PEG linkage on the blood clearance time of PEG-modified single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) was investigated. The toxicity profile of SWNTs covalently linked to PEG (c-PEG-o-SWNTs) in rats has also been determined. The pharmacokinetics of c-PEG-o-SWNTs in rats and their distribution in vital organs were monitored by Raman spectroscopy, and the blood clearance of homogenate isoliquiritigenin (ISL) was determined by HPLC. Photos of tissue and tissue sections were taken to evaluate the toxicity of c-PEG-o-SWNTs. We found that SWNTs which were covalently modified with PEG and have a molecular weight of 3500 had the longest blood clearance half-lives. However, SWNTs were toxic to the kidneys and the hearts. The high renal clearance of long-term fate SWNTs may occur because of impaired kidney filtration function. Therefore, we assume that while researchers study the long-term fate of SWNTs, the toxicity of SWNTs also needs to be taken into account.

A series of vanadium oxide (VOx)–single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) composite films with different SWCNT concentrations were prepared and systematically investigated. The critical SWCNT concentrations for modification of VOx films were experimentally deduced.

Highly fluorinated single-walled carbon nanotubes tend to be oriented under stress due to strong electrostatic interaction allowing directional propagation and then effective attenuation of electromagnetic waves by pristine single-walled carbon nanotube networks.
