Abstract The multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) are modified through acidification, followed by the graft of polycaprolactone. The supramolecular forces of α-cyclodextrins (α-CDs) and PCL are used to produce MWNTs hybrid materials with pseudopolyrotaxane structure. XRD, FTIR, TGA, DSC are used for the characterization of its product. The preparation of this hybrid material provides a new approach for modifying carbon nanotubes in supramolecular chemistry with the expectation of applying this hybrid materials to the field of biomedicine.

Since the end of the 20th century, nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been considered as one of the greatest achievements in the field of material science. Nowadays, further research on CNTs is still being conducted to unfold the full potential of this material. Generally, CNTs production methods have been extensively studied, specifically on CNTs synthesis route via liquefied hydrocarbon gas in the presence of a catalyst. From the synthesized material, further investigation including characterization and investigation of this nano size system’s effects on the physics, chemical, mechanical rules applied to macroscopic (bulk materials) and microscopic systems (atoms, molecules). In this present work, we demonstrated the research results of the synthesis of nano-carbon materials from a liquefied hydrocarbon gas (Liquefied Petroleum Gas: LPG) and its application to red phenol absorption in the liquid phase. CNTs used in this study were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method with Fe /ℽ-Al2O3 as the catalyst. The research results demonstrated that CNTs synthesized from LPG in this work were reported to be multi-walled tubes (MWCNTs: Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes) with physical characteristics including average internal and external diameters were of 6 nm and 17 nm, respectively. The measured specific surface suggested by BET data was 200 m2/g. The experimental study of red phenol adsorption by MWCNTs showed that the adsorption process followed both Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm adsorption models with the maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of 47.2 mg/g. The research results again showed that it was possible to synthesize MWCNTs from hydrocarbon gas sources via the CVD method by utilizing catalysts. Additionally, red phenol absorption via such material had shown to follow both Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm model, which allow further characterization of this material using Raman, EDX, SEM, TEM, BET, in order to extend the library database on the characterization of the reported synthesized material.

As novel theories and uses of carbon nanotubes (CNT) advance, it becomes increasingly important to characterize the methods of production. One such method of CNT production uses a liquid phase precursor (hydrocarbon with nanoparticle catalyst mix) that is injected into a tube furnace with a flowing carrier gas. The CNTs are grown in high purity and are collected on the surface of the quartz tube. The system allows for a number of variables to be tested such as growth temperatures, flow rate of the carrier gas, precursor injection rates and variations of precursor mix however, here only thermal effects are considered. Under thermal conditions ranging from 500 to 850°C, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are synthesized and characterized to determine inner and outer diameter as well as tube thickness.
