- Abstract
In the vast field of functionalization routes to carbon nanoforms, the fulfillment of such critical requirements as quick and nonharsh methods, good dispersibility, introduction of reactive groups, short reaction time, and low cost can be quite challenging. Traditional thermally induced diazonium chemistry on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is revisited by using commercial anilines and providing useful insight into the versatility of this approach. Functionalized SWCNTs with multiple controllable features, such as degree (and ratio) of coverage, orthogonalization, doping, and high water dispersibility, are obtained by introducing benzenesulfonic acid and benzylamine moieties. The scenario opens up an avenue to address relevant applications in which most functionalization methods could not be applied in a straightforward way.
