Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have excellent mechanical and electrical properties that have led to the proposal of many potential applications. However, SWNTs are typically grown as bundles of metallic and semiconducting tubes. This prevents their widespread application. Therefore, it is technologically critical to disperse and purify SWNTs and separate metallic and semiconducting SWNTs effectively. Recent progress and advances have been made on dispersion, separation, assemble, and control of electronic property of SWNTs by the interaction of organic molecules. This paper presents a brief review of the interaction of SWNTs with amine.
