Effect of Single‐walled Carbon Nanotube (SWCNT) Composition on Polyfluorene‐Based SWCNT Dispersion Selectivity

Applications of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are hampered by the mixtures of metallic and semiconducting SWCNTs that are present in commercial samples. Separation of SWCNTs according to electronic type is therefore extremely important. Recently, the selective interaction between the conjugated polymer, poly(9,9-di-n-dodecyl-fluorenyl-2,7-diyl) and semiconducting SWCNTs has been reported. However, the mechanism responsible for this …
