Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been the forefront of nanoscience and nanotechnology due to their unique electrical and mechanical properties and specific functions. However, due to their poor solubility in solvents, the applications using the materials have been limited. Therefore, strategic approaches toward the solubilization of CNTs are important in wide fields including chemistry, physics, biochemistry, biology, pharmaceuticals, and medical sciences. In this article, we summarize: (i) the strategic approaches toward the solubilization of CNTs using chemical and physical modifications, (ii) nanocomposites of CNTs and biological molecules including DNA, (iii) formation of CNTs with topological structures, (iv) separation of metallic and semiconducting nanotubes, (v) the preparations of films and fibers of CNTs and hybrid materials of CNTs and organic and inorganic molecules.
由于其独特的电学和力学性能以及特定功能,碳纳米管(CNTs)一直处于纳米科学和纳米技术的前沿。然而,由于它们在溶剂中的溶解性较差,使用这些材料的应用受到了限制。因此,在包括化学、物理、生物化学、生物学、制药和医学等广泛领域中,实现碳纳米管增溶的策略性方法至关重要。在本文中,我们总结了:(i)使用化学和物理修饰实现碳纳米管增溶的策略性方法;(ii)碳纳米管与包括DNA在内的生物分子的纳米复合材料;(iii)具有拓扑结构的碳纳米管的形成;(iv)金属和半导体纳米管的分离;(v)碳纳米管薄膜和纤维以及碳纳米管与有机和无机分子的杂化材料的制备。
