摘要：

Single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) bundles are selectively removed from an aqueous dispersion containing individually suspended carbon nanotubes coated with gum Arabic via interfacial trapping. The suspensions are characterized with absorbance, fluorescence, and Raman spectroscopy as well as atomic force microscopy (AFM) and rheology. The resulting aqueous suspensions have better dispersion quality after interfacial trapping and can be further improved by altering the processing conditions. A two-step extraction process offers a simple and fast approach to preparing high-quality dispersions of individual SWNTs comparable to ultracentrifugation. Partitioning of SWNTs to the liquid-liquid interface is described by free energy changes. SWNT bundles prefer to reside at the interface over individually suspended SWNTs because of greater free energy changes.
