OH Functionalized Short SWCNTs
Introduction:
OH functionalized short single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are carbon nanotubes that have been chemically modified to include hydroxyl (-OH) groups and are characterized by a shorter length. This functionalization enhances their solubility, reactivity, and compatibility with various materials, making them particularly suitable for a range of advanced applications. The shorter length facilitates better dispersion in various matrices, reduces entanglement, and enhances their effectiveness in specific applications.
