| Single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) have shown interesting material and electrical properties. Potential applications include using functionalized nanotubes for drug delivery and in the development of new electronic materials. One problem of SWNTs is in the inherent difficulty in characterization of the functionalization. A reliable method of characterizing functionalized SWNTs in order to fully understand SWNT functionalization would be useful in synthesis. A number of spectroscopic methods to characterize SWNT functionalization are reported. In particular, the use of IR, NMR and Raman in the characterization of functionalization of Professor Dan Resasco's CoMoCAT SWNTs will be discussed. |
