Discover the go-to handbook for developers and application-oriented researchers who use carbon nanotubes in real products Carbon nanotubes have held much interest for researchers since their discovery in 1991. Due to their low mass density, large aspect ratio, and unique physical, chemical, and electronic properties, they provide a fertile ground for innovation in nanoscale applications. The development of chemical modifications that can enhance the poor dispersion of carbon nanotubes in solvents and improve interactions with other materials have enabled extensive industrial applications in a variety of fields. As the chemistry of carbon nanotubes and their functionalization becomes better understood, Chemically Modified Carbon Nanotubes for Commercial Applications presents the most recent developments of chemically modified carbon nanotubes and emphasizes the broad appeal for commercial purposes along many avenues of interest. The book reviews their already realized and prospective applications in fields such as electronics, photonics, separation science, food packaging, environmental monitoring and protecting, sensing technology, and biomedicine. By focusing on their commercialization prospects, this resource offers a unique approach to a significant and cutting-edge discipline. Chemically Modified Carbon Nanotubes for Commercial Applications readers will also find: Case studies that emphasize the information presented in each chapter Each chapter includes important websites and suggested reading materials Discussion of current applications of the relevant methodologies in every chapter A look at future perspectives in each application area to highlight the scope for next steps within the industry Chemically Modified Carbon Nanotubes for Commercial Applications is a valuable reference for material scientists, chemists (especially those focused on environmental concerns), and chemical and materials engineering scientists working in R&D and academia who want to learn more about chemically modified carbon nanotubes for various scalable commercial applications. It is also a useful resource for a broad audience: anyone interested in the fields of nanomaterials, nanoadsorbents, nanomedicine, bioinspired nanomaterials, nanotechnology, nanodevices, nanocomposites, biomedical application of nanomaterials, nano-engineering, and high energy applications.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), discovered in 1991, have been a subject of intensive research for a wide range of applications. In the past decades, although carbon nanotubes have undergone massive research, considering the success of silicon, it has, nonetheless, been difficult to appreciate the potential influence of carbon nanotubes in current technology. The main objective of this book is therefore to give a wide variety of possible applications of carbon nanotubes in many industries related to electron device technology. This should allow the user to better appreciate the potential of these innovating nanometer sized materials. Readers of this book should have a good background on electron devices and semiconductor device physics as this book presents excellent results on possible device applications of carbon nanotubes. This book begins with an analysis on fabrication techniques, followed by a study on current models, and it presents a significant amount of work on different devices and applications available to current technology.

Since their discovery single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have gained the interest of many scientists and engineers due to their prominent structural, mechanical and electronic properties which make them applicable in various areas including electronics, chemical and biological sensing and reinforced composite materials. Although SWNTs have many application areas their use can be limited since they are synthesised as a mixture of metallic and semiconducting species with different diameters and helicities and they have limited solubility in aqueous and non-aqueous solvents. Covalent modification of SWNTs is an important tool to introduce new functional groups onto the surface of nanotubes to improve their solubility and processability. It can also be used to separate metallic from semiconducting nanotubes. The work presented here has concentrated on the non-disruptive covalent modification of SWNTs using pyridine diazonium salt addition, 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition and reductive alkylation. The selectivitiy of the addition was probed by UV-vis-NIR and Raman spectroscopy where the metallic were found to be more selective than semiconducting SWNTs. The location and distribution of the functional groups was determined by AFM using electrostatic interactions with gold nanoparticles. Rheological data showed that the pyridine modified SWNTs were able to act as crosslinkers and hydrogen bond to poly(acrylic acid) to form SWNT hydrogels. The indolizine modified SWNTs, emitted blue light when excited ca. 330 nm, were capable of sensing 4-nitrophenol, 3-nitrophenol, 2-nitrophenol, 2-nitrosotoluene and 2,4-dinitrotoluene with a detection limit of ca. 10-8 M. The modified SWNTs were further characterised using FTIR, XPS, TGA-MS and optical microscopy.
