摘要
Stable aqueous dispersions of nanotubes of controlled molecular mass can be produced using chemical treatment. They exhibit polymeric behavior, in terms of an entanglement-like transition, and can be characterized using equations taken from polymer science to produce typical fitting parameters. Manipulation of assemblies of nanotubes and control of their alignment are key issues for many of the suggested applications of carbon nanotubes.
