The Effect of Surfactants on the Dispersion of Carbon Nanotubes in Water

Article Preview

Abstract:

Dispersion of carbon nanotubes in water largely determines the excellent properties of carbon nanotubes can be fully exhibited in the composite material. Summarizes the characteristics of all kinds of surface active agent, select several can represent various types of surfactant reagents to test and comparing the several kinds of surfactants on the dispersion of carbon nanotubes, and focus on the effects of polyvinylpyrrolidone special molecular structure on the surface of the carbon nanotubes.
