Synthesis and characterization of the isolated straight polymer chain inside of single-walled carbon nanotubes.
In this paper, a novel molecular wire comprising an isolated straight polystyrene (PS) chain encapsulated by a single-walled carbon nantube (SWNT) was prepared. The interaction of the PS chain with the SWNTs was systematically characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy.
