Abstract

The amphiphobic nature of carbon nanotubes allows them to stabilise droplets of water-insoluble monomers dispersed in the aqueous nanotube suspension, leading to a flexible route to electrochemical synthesis of useful nanoporous composites of nanotube doped conducting polymers, and potentially to other chemistry involving reactants incompatible in the same medium.
