Synthesis, Characterization, and Applications of Carbon Nanotubes Functionalized with Magnetic Nanoparticles

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are amalgamated to produce a new type of sensing ink. The combined properties of CNTs and MNPs also justify their use as additives in composite materials. These developments open new windows for nanotechnology applications. This chapter elucidates the methods of synthesizing MNPs, using them to functionalize and chaperone CNTs, and the capabilities of these MNP-CNT conjugates. Section …
