Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were functionalized by direct fluorination and subsequent reaction with 6-aminohexanoic acid for water-soluble carboxylic acid functionalized SWNTs (AHA-SWNTs). Both of the compounds were used as precursors to attach SWNTs to APTES coated silicon surfaces. AHA-SWNTs in aqueous solution were reacted with APTES self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) with coupling reagents N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N′-ethylcarbodiimide (EDC) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS). The surface coverage is a function of concentration of AHA-SWNTs, solvent and coupling method. While for the fluorinated SWNTs (F-SWNTs), direct addition of F-SWNTs to preformed APTES SAMs at 90 °C shows essentially no reaction, in contrast to the one-pot reaction of F-SWNTs with APTES molecules in the presence of SWNTs on a silicon substrate. This reaction route provides a convenient method to attach SWNTs to silicon surfaces.
