Abstract

We report that dispersion and functionalization of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with different dispersing methods and dispersing agents result in different SWNTs with different electronic structures and surface functionalities. In-situ polymerizations of the monomers, 3-aminophenylboronic acid hemisulfate salt, in the presence of these various SWNTs, we obtained poly (aniline boronic acid) nanocomposites. The electronic and molecular structures of the poly (aniline boronic acid) in the composite and therefore the performance of the composite are very different, depending on the electronic fingerprints and the surface functionalities of the SWNTs.
