Viscous, water-miscible, liquid multiwalled carbon nanotubes with an extraordinarily high degree of functionalization (hf- MWCNTs) have been obtained by means of a deep-sidewall modification process. The hf-MWCNTs behave as an ionic liquid, with a conductivity of 1mS/cmat 100 °C. The unique properties of this material render it suitable in a wide spectrum of applications, ranging from nanomedicine to energetics.

Abstract

Viscous, water-miscible, liquid multiwalled carbon nanotubes with an extraordinarily high degree of functionalization (hf- MWCNTs) have been obtained by means of a deep-sidewall modification process. The hf-MWCNTs behave as an ionic liquid, with a conductivity of 1mS/cmat 100 °C. The unique properties of this material render it suitable in a wide spectrum of applications, ranging from nanomedicine to energetics.

The Chemistry category includes resources that are general in nature and cover a broad spectrum of topics in the chemical sciences. Resources specifically covering analytical chemistry, inorganic and nuclear chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, and polymer science will be placed in those particular categories. Miscellaneous and applied chemistry resources may be placed in this category when not appropriate for specific subfields in chemistry.
