Counterion effect on the aggregation of anionic perylenedyes and the influence on carbon nanotube dispersion efficiencies

Abstract

The effect of alkali metal counterions on the aggregation behaviour of an anionic perylene dye has been investigated by absorption and emission spectroscopy. In the presence of Na+ aggregation is enhanced leading to a decreased surfactant capability for the dispersion of carbon nanotubes.
