Surface Modified Carbon Nanotubes Volume 1: Fundamentals, Synthesis and Recent Trends

'Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have drawn great consideration for their numerous promising applications due to their unique electronic, mechanical, structural, and adsorptive properties. However, the preparation of effective dispersions of CNTs severely holds back the utilization, extension, and application of CNTs. To conquer these limitations and expand the scope of their application, proper surface modification of CNTs has fascinated great consideration over the past few decades and discovered a variety of unique hybrid materials with desired applications'--
