“…With an aim to immobilize CNTs on electrode surfaces without dissolving the CNTs in solvents, several types of modified electrodes have been reported recently. They include CNT paste electrode [8,9], CNT film-coated electrode [10,11], CNT powder microelectrode [12], CNT paper electrode [13], and polymer/CNT modified electrodes [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. Conducting polymer/CNT modified electrodes are of special interest because they have three-dimensional structures due to the incorporation of CNTs into conducting polymers.…”

A novel dye-polymer/CNT, poly(taurine)/MWNT-modified glassy carbon electrode was fabricated. This electrode is based on an electrochemically polymerized taurine layer coated on a MWNT film. The application of this electrode for voltammetric detection of acetaminophen is described. The electroactive surface area of the modified electrode was calculated to be 0.37 cm2. Acetaminophen is oxidized at 0.38 V and then reduced at 0.27 V on the modified electrode. The irreversible oxidation process is due to the conversion of acetaminophen into imidogenquinone; the reduction process is ascribed to the reverse electrode reaction. The adsorption-controlled anodic peak current is proportional to the acetaminophen concentration (from 1.0 M to 0.1 mM) with a detection limit of 0.5 M. The detection of acetaminophen in drugs was conducted

“…SWNTs complexes with -conjugated PPVs have been the intriguing materials because of their unique optoelectronic properties. [170][171][172][173][174][175][176][177][178][179][180][181][182][183][184][185][186] Up to date, wide variety of aromatic polymers have been reported to serve as an excellent dispersant for CNTs. And extensive researches to achieve further reinforcement of the aromatic polymers were carried out since CNTs are expected to act as ideal filler materials for polymer films due to their high tensile modulus (640 GP) 187 and tensile strength (%100 GPa) 188 together with a high aspect ratio (typically ca.…”

Science and technology on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are an expanding field aiming at ascertaining their intrinsic properties and taking advantage of their inviting possibilities. Dealing with CNTs has faced the problem of insolubility in both organic and inorganic solvents due to the strong interaction therein. Here we review the recent progress as well as our approaches to the solubilization of CNTs based on a physical modification method. Especially, the review focuses on the 'individual' solubilization of pristine CNTs in solvents. Individual solubilization of CNTs is imperative in many research programs such as chemical modification of CNTs via organic reactions, characterization of CNTs chiral indices as well as separation of these mixtures, preparation of composites with polymers, fabrication of CNTs-based nanoelectronics devices and so forth.

The discovery of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has opened up exciting opportunities for the development of novel materials with desirable properties. The superior mechanical properties and excellent electrical conductivity make CNTs a good filler material for composite reinforcement. However, the dispersal of CNTs in a polymer solution or melt is difficult due to their tendency to agglomerate. Many attempts have been made to fully utilize CNTs for the reinforcement of polymeric media. Therefore, different types of polymer/CNTs nanocomposites have been synthesized and investigated. This paper reviews the current progress in the preparation, properties and application of polyamide/CNTs (nylon/CNTs) nanocomposites. The effectiveness of different processing methods has increased the dispersive properties of CNTs and the amelioration of their poor interfacial bonding. Moreover, the mechanical properties are significantly enhanced even with a small amount of CNTs. This paper also discusses how reinforcement with CNTs improves the electrical thermal and optical properties of nylon/CNTs nanocomposites.
