AbstractSingle-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are emerging as an important new class of electronic materials. Both metallic and semiconducting SWNTs have electrical properties that rival or exceed the best metals or semiconductors known. In this article, we review recent transport and scanning probe experiments that investigate the electrical properties of SWNTs.We address the fundamental scattering mechanisms in SWNTs, both in linear response and at high bias.We also discuss the nature and properties of contacts to SWNTs. Finally, we discuss device performance issues and potential applications in electronics and sensing.

In this paper, we review the potential applications of single-walled carbon nanotubes in three areas: passives (interconnects), actives (transistors), and antennas. In the area of actives, potential applications include transistors for RF and microwave amplifiers, mixers, detectors, and filters. We review the experimental state of the art, and present the theoretical predictions (where available) for ultimate device performance. In addition, we discuss fundamental parameters such as dc resistance as a function of length for individual, single-walled carbon nanotubes.

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and various modified SWCNTs have drawn a lot of attention due to their potential applications in biomedical field. Before further moving on to real clinical applications, hydrophobicity and toxicity of SWCNTs should be investigated thoroughly. In this paper, 2-methacryloyloxy ethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) was adopted to modify SWCNTs and phosphoryl choline was grafted onto SWCNTs as small molecule moieties and polymeric chains, which made SWCNTs dispersed stably both in water and in cell culture medium for a long time. Cytotoxicity of pristine and modified SWCNTs were assayed upon successful preparation of the designed modified SWCNT. Furthermore, the internalization of SWCNTs by three cells was investigated using a live cell station under normal culture temperature (37°C) and low temperature (4°C). The results showed that the internalization of modified SWCNTs was related to both the active transport and the passive transport. Although the modification with phosphoryl choline remarkably reduced the cytotoxicity of SWCNTs, the results were probably due to other reasons such as the decrease in the ratio of cells which internalized modified SWCNTs since the cells without SWCNTs occupation still exhibited normal states.

Conjugated polymers have attracted much attention for many years and have applications in various organic devices. Carbon nanotubes can be considered as all-carbon tube-shaped conjugated polymers containing only <i>sp</i><sup>2</sup>-bonded atoms, which play an important role in nanotechnology and nanoelectronics. So far, no study has reported the realization of long π-conjugated polymers as diameter-specified carbon nanotube segments. Herein, we report the first synthesis of a π-conjugated polymeric segment (<b>PS1</b>) of armchair single-walled carbon nanotubes. <b>PS1</b> is achieved by a rationally designed synthesis of a bifunctionalized cyclo-<i>para</i>-phenylene monomer, followed by inserting these ring-shaped units into the conjugated <a>poly-<i>para</i>-phenylene </a>backbone. Our <b>PS1</b> was fully characterized by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) combined with NMR, FTIR, and Raman spectra. Its photophysical and unique electronic properties were also investigated. Possessing unique structural and physical properties, this long π-extended polymer <b>PS1</b> can provide new insight for the development of <a></a><a>bottom-up syntheses </a><a></a><a>of uniform </a>carbon nanotube segments and potential applications in electron-transport devices.

Quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) was used to investigate the adsorption of acid-oxidized single-walled carbon nanotubes (Ox-SWNTs) and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone), PVP. It was found for the first time that Ox-SWNTs adsorbed onto the QCM electrode can be effectively replaced by PVP chains in an aqueous solution. This replacement process was also investigated by atomic force miscroscopic (AFM) imaging, which shows good agreement with the QCM measurements. This study provides powerful tools for fundamental investigation of polymer-nanotube interactions and for controlled design/fabrication of functional polymer-nanotube surfaces for potential applications.
