Chemical functionalization of the outer graphene layer of carbon nanotubes (CNT) has been increasingly studied, aiming at the application of CNT in different areas. The functionalization of CNT using the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction, leading to the formation of cyclic amine groups on the CNT surface [1], was observed to induce the unzipping of the CNT under specific conditions. The CNTs thus functionalize...
Recently, the formation of graphene by exfoliation of carbon nanotubes (CNT) has shown increasing interest. This process originates graphene nanoribbons (GNR) that are expected to present excellent electrical properties, depending on their width and on their edge shape [1]. Several methods for the unzipping of graphene from CNT were proposed along the past few years [2-6]. These methods often present some limit...
Chemical modification of the outer graphene layer of carbon nanotubes is an approach increasingly used, mainly to overcome the problem of interfacial bonding with different materials. The effect of functionalization of CNT under different conditions, using the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction [1], was studied by Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM). STM demonstrated the potential for unzipping of the outer gra...
