Shaping Carbon Nanotubes with Chemistry

As-grown, string-shaped single-walled carbon nanotubes were transformed into other shapes by applications of organic chemistry. Cutting carbon nanotubes in strong acids affords oxygen-containing groups at both ends of the open tubes. These groups were utilized for ring-closure reactions in very dilute conditions. Atomic force microscopy reveals ring-shaped nanotubes with a mean diameter of 540 nm as products. Also, the end groups were used to react with the surface amine groups of PAMAM dendrimer. It gave star-shaped structures in which straight nanotubes are radiating from dendrimer centers. These experiments clearly demonstrate that covalent chemistry is useful for construction of super-structured carbon nanotubes.

After the removal of multi-walled carbon nanotubes by calcination, the silica nanotubes were successfully prepared.

Theoretical investigation of electromechanical effects for graphyne carbon nanotubes

We present a theoretical study of the electronic and mechanical properties of graphyne-based nanotubes (GNTs). These semiconducting nanotubes result from the elongation of one-third of the covalent interconnections of graphite-based nanotubes by the introduction of yne groups. The effect of charge injection on the dimensions of GNTs was investigated using tight-binding calculations. Low amounts of electron injection are predicted to cause qualitatively different responses for armchair and zigzag graphyne nanotubes. Although the behavior is qualitatively similar to the usual carbon nanotubes, the charge-induced strains are predicted to be smaller for the GNTs than for ordinary single walled carbon nanotubes.     

Efficient Chemical Modification of Carbon Nanotubes with Metallacarboranes

As‐produced single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) tend to aggregate in bundles due to π–π interactions. Several approaches are nowadays available to debundle, at least partially, the nanotubes through surface modification by both covalent and noncovalent approaches. Herein, we explore different strategies to afford an efficient covalent functionalization of SWCNTs with cobaltabisdicarbollide anions. Aberration‐corrected HRTEM analysis reveals the presence of metallacarboranes along the walls of the SWCNTs. This new family of materials presents an outstanding water dispersibility that facilitates its processability for potential applications.     

Ionic liquids for soft functional materials with carbon nanotubes

A serendipitous finding that ionic liquids gel with carbon nanotubes has opened a new possibility of ionic liquids as modifiers for carbon nanotubes. Upon being ground into ionic liquids, carbon nanotube bundles are untangled, and the resultant fine bundles form a network structure. This is due to the possible specific interaction between the imidazolium ion component and the pi-electronic nanotube surface. The resultant gelatinous materials, consisting of highly electroconductive nanowires and fluid electrolytes, can be utilized for a wide variety of electrochemical applications, such as sensors, capacitors, and actuators. Ionic liquids allow for noncovalent and covalent modifications of carbon nanotubes and fabrication of polymer composites with enhanced physical properties. The processing of carbon nanotubes with ionic liquids is not accompanied by the disruption of the pi-conjugated nanotube structure and does not require solvents; therefore it can readily be scaled up. This article focuses on new aspects of ionic liquids for designer soft materials based on carbon nanotubes.
