Description
Summary:The functionalization of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is a very actively discussed topic in contemporary nanotube literature because the planned modification of SWCNT properties is believed to open the road towards real nanotechnology applications. In this contribution, some recent results are reported on the subject. Covalent attachment of functional groups, their influence on tube-tube stacking, detachment of functional groups, selective n- and p-type intercalation as well as special reactions carried out in the interior of SWCNTs are discussed. Clean room conditions for interior of single wall carbon nanotubes is demonstrated.
