摘要
A mixture of as-grown single-wall carbon nano-tubes (SWNTs) and a monochlorobenzene (MCB) solution of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) was sonicated and homogenized. As a result, SWNTs were separated from carbonaceous impurities and metal particles, which enabled us to purify the SWNTs by filtration. We also found that the number of short (about 1-mu m) SWNTs and thin bundles of SWNTs increased. The thin bundles contained one to three SWNTs. These short, thin SWNTs suspended in the MCB solution of PMMA were spin-coated onto a Si wafer, and could be dispersed on it.
