Decoration of Polyfluorene-Wrapped Carbon Nanotubes via Strain-Promoted Azide–Alkyne Cycloaddition

Developing methodologies that can efficiently decorate carbon nanotube surfaces with various molecular structures while avoiding damage to nanotube optoelectronic properties is an ongoing challenge. Here, we outline a methodology to perform chemistry on the nanotube surface without perturbing optoelectronic properties. Reactive, noncovalently functionalized polymer–nanotube complexes were prepared using polyfluorene with azide groups in its …
