Rapid and controllable covalent functionalization of single-walled carbon nanotubes at room temperature.
We report a rapid and efficient procedure to functionalize SWNT where free radicals generated at room temperature by a redox reaction between reduced SWNT and diacyl peroxide derivatives were covalently attached to the SWNT wall.
