Preparation of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-terminated carbon nanotubes and determining their aggregation properties in response to infrared light and heating
In this work, we newly prepared the multi-walled carbon nanotube (MCNT)-grafted poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) on their termini. After grafting PNIPAM, MCNTs dispersed well into water. In addition, the synt...
