Lars M. Ericson,Hua Fan,Haiqing Peng,Virginia A. Davis,Wei Zhou,Joseph A. Sulpizio,YuHuang Wang,Richard Booker,Juraj Vavro,Csaba Guthy,A. Nicholas G. Parra-Vasquez,Myung Jong Kim,Sivarajan Ramesh,Rajesh K. Saini,Carter Kittrell,Gerry Lavin,Howard K. Schmidt,W. Wade Adams,W. E. Billups,Matteo Pasquali,Wen Fang Hwang,Robert H. Hauge,John E. Fischer,Richard E. Smalley +23 more
TL;DR: In this article, a well-aligned macroscopic fiber composed solely of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) was produced by conventional spinning, where fuming sulfuric acid charges SWNTs and promotes their ordering into an aligned phase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phase Behavior and Rheology of SWNTs in Superacids
Virginia A. Davis,Lars M. Ericson,A. Nicholas G. Parra-Vasquez,Hua Fan,YuHuang Wang,Valentin Prieto,Jason A. Longoria,Sivarajan Ramesh,Rajesh K. Saini,Carter Kittrell,W. E. Billups,W. Wade Adams,Robert H. Hauge,Richard E. Smalley,Matteo Pasquali +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) form a highly unusual nematic phase consisting of spaghetti-like self-assembled supermolecular strands of mobile, solvated tubes in equilibrium with a dilute isotropic phase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functionalization of carbon nanotubes by free radicals.
TL;DR: Free radicals generated by decomposition of benzoyl peroxide in the presence of alkyl iodides have been used to derivatize small-diameter single-wall carbon nanotubes (HiPco tubes) and exhibits remarkably improved solubility in organic solvents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dissolution of Pristine Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes in Superacids by Direct Protonation
Sivarajan Ramesh,Lars M. Ericson,Virginia A. Davis,Rajesh K. Saini,Carter Kittrell,Matteo Pasquali,W. E. Billups,W. Wade Adams,Robert H. Hauge,Richard E. Smalley +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a dissolution model is proposed wherein the solubilized tubes exist as protonated polycarbocations, charge balanced by corresponding conjugate base anions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for the creation of macroscopic materials and objects comprising aligned carbon nanotube segments is presented. But the method is not suitable for the fabrication of large-scale objects.
