title: Debundling, selection and release of SWNTs using fluorene-based photocleavable polymers.
abstract: Photocleavable polymers based on 9,9-dialkylfluorene backbone and o-nitrobenzylether were designed and synthesized to obtain stable (n,m) enriched suspensions of semiconducting SWNTs in toluene. Photoirradiation of the suspensions triggered the precipitation of the SWNTs and TEM images indicate close packing of SWNTs pointing at partial removal of the coating polymer.
