The dispersion of carbon nanotubes in water with the aid of very small amounts of ionic liquid.
Multiwalled carbon nanotubes can be dispersed stably in water with the aid of a very small amount of 1-aminoethyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([C(2)NH(2)mim][Br]) or 1-(2-aminoethyl) pyridinium bromide ([C(2)NH(2)py][Br]).
