COOH Functionalized Carbon Nanotubes
To carboxyl functionalize our carbon nanotubes (produced by the CVD method), we perform a reflux in concentrated sulfuric / nitric acid. This process results in a large concentration of carboxylic acid COOH groups on the nanotube surface, and also generates other groups. After functionalization, these carboxylated multiwall carbon nanotubes have 2-7 wt% COOH by titration. These typically have a high zeta potential, varying from -30 to -70mV as a function of pH.
We highly recommend our PASTE versions of the COOH terminated nanotubes. Pastes are supplied at 10wt% concentration in water, and are very easy to disperse in other solvents. In contrast, the dried carboxylate powders are less easy to redisperse.
