Abstract
In a previous study, single-walled carbon nannotubes (SWNTs) could be stably dispersed for several months after the incubation with A-B-A block telomers composed of hydrophilic telomers (A blocks) and a styrene telomers (B blok), which had been prepared by macroinitiator technique. In this work, SWNTs were functionalized by chemical modification: condensation between carboxylic group of SWNTs and an amino end group of poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) (PIPA). Furthermore, SWNTs were functionalized by poly (2-methacrylolyoxy D-glucopyranoside) (PMEGlc)-azomacroinitiator. A temperature-responsiveness of PIPA-modified SWNTs and absorbance change of PMEGlc-SWNTs upon incubation with Con A were investigated by UV spectroscopy. The hydrophilic telomers on SWNTs indicated their own functions clearly.
