Abstract

Single walled carbon nanotube (SWNTs) are molecular scale wires with interesting and potentially useful properties. Many researchers have investigated about applications for electrical devices using SWNTs owing to their phenomenal electrical properties. Many of these investigations require chemical modification to SWNTs to facilitate the manipulation of SWNTs. In this study, the prepared long and randomly tangled SWNTs were cut into pipes and carboxyl groups were introduced to SWNTs by chemical oxidation. In results, shortened SWNTs are highly aligned and formed the self-assembly structure. We have investigated about their mechanism and properties of the self-assembled structure of SWNTs.
