Creating Carbon Nanotubes Microenvironment in Surfactant Water Solutions

Abstract:

The infrared absorption spectra of aqueous dispersions of carbon nanotubes in the presence of surfactants and alkali metal salts in the frequency range from 1000 cm-1 to 3000 cm-1 have been studied. The possibility of controlling the characteristics of local environment of carbon nanotubes by varying external electrolyte and modulation the surfactant micelle structure has been shown.
