METHOD OF CARBON NANOTUBE SELECTION

摘要

A method of purifying a sample of single walled carbon nanotubes to isolate nanotubes having particular properties or groups of properties, comprising dispersing the sample of nanotubes in a polymer solution containing a polymer of formula (I): wherein A, A', A", X, m and n are as herein defined, such that at least a portion of the nanotubes forms polymer-nanotube complexes with the polymer, and separating the polymer-nanotube complexes from the solution.
