Abstract

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are decorated with nanoparticles of p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene which render the nanotubes soluble in water. The nanocomposite was prepared by a solventless grinding method, followed by the additional of water then sonication. The non-covalently modified carbon nanotubes have been characterized using Raman, FTIR spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and thermogravimetric analysis.
