title: Cycloaddition reactions: a controlled approach for carbon nanotube functionalization.
abstract: Controlled functionalization of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) through the use of cycloaddition reactions is described. By employing various cycloaddition reactions, a wide range of molecules could be coupled onto CNTs without disruption of the structural integrity as well as with a statistical distribution of functional groups onto the surface of the CNTs. The cycloaddition reactions represent an effective and tailored approach for preparing CNT-based advanced hybrid materials that would be useful for a wide range of applications from nanobiotechnology to nanoelectronics.
