Controlling the electrophoretic mobility of single-walled carbon nanotubes : a comparison of theory and experiment

The electrophoretic mobilities of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in agarose gels subjected to negatively charged covalent functionalization and noncovalent anionic surfactant adsorption are compared using a simplified hydrodynamic model. Net charges are calculated on the basis of estimated f...

Zusammenfassung:The electrophoretic mobilities of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in agarose gels subjected to negatively charged covalent functionalization and noncovalent anionic surfactant adsorption are compared using a simplified hydrodynamic model. Net charges are calculated on the basis of estimated friction coefficients for cylindrical rodlike particles. The effects of functionalization with negatively charged 4-hydroxybenzene diazonium and anionic sodium cholate are quantified and compared with model predictions. The adsorption of Na+ counterions into the nonionic surfactant layer adsorbed on SWNTs (Triton-X-405) is shown to induce a positive charge and reverse the mobility under select conditions. This effect has not been identified or quantified for nanoparticle systems and may be important in the processing of these systems
