Binding nanotube to polymer, useful for making microelectronic components, by derivatizing tube with reactive group that bonds covalently to polymer

摘要

Method for binding a nanotube (I) to a polymer (II) comprises derivatizing an end of (I) with a chemically reactive group and reacting this with (II) so as to form a covalent bond between (I) and (II). Independent claims are also included for the following: (a) polymer to which a (I) is covalently bonded; and (b) microelectronic component that includes the polymer of (a).
