Abstract :
By use of solution phase mid-IR spectroscopy we are able to obtain an estimate for the ratio of the carbon atoms in the single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) backbone to the carbon atoms in the end-groups and at defect sites of the octadecylamido (ODA) functionalized soluble SWNTs (s-SWNT-CONH(CH2)17CH3). This analysis shows that the weight percentage of the octadecylamido functionality in the s-SWNTs is about 50%.
