Abstract

A non-destructive strategy for the synthesis of full-length multi-walled carbon nanotube-silica gel nanobead (flCNT-SNB) composite material, was illustrated. The SNB were grown onto silylated full-length CNT through the hydrophobic adsorption of pyrenyl groups onto the surface of CNT via π-π interactions. For transmission electron microscopy (TEM) a drop of dispersion of nanoparticles in MeOH was allowed to evaporate on a 300-mesh copper grid. The results show that the nanoassemblies exhibit various valuable features including high versatility of the silica and the bare graphitic surfaces.
