A Novel Method to Covalently Functionalize Carbon Nanotubes with Isocyanates

September 30, 2009
Author(s)
Tinh Nguyen, Aline Granier, Kristen L. Steffens, Hajin Lee, Naomi Eidelman, Jonathan W. Martin
We have developed a novel method to covalently functionalize carbon nanotubes (CNTs) that carry free isocyanate (N=C=O) groups. NCO-functionalized CNTs (NCO-fCNTs) are very desirable, because the NCO group is highly reactive with hydrogen-active groups

Young J. Song, Steven C. Erwin, Gregory M. Rutter, Phillip N. First, Nikolai Zhitenev, Joseph A. Stroscio
We describe in detail a new atom-by-atom exchange manipulation technique using a scanning tunneling microscope probe. As-deposited Mn adatoms (Mnad) are exchanged one-by-one with surface In atoms (Insu) to create a Mn surface-substitutional (MnIn) and an
