The effect of surfactant structure on the dispersion of MWCNT

The discovery of carbon nanotubes In water is a challenging task for their unique applications. Dispersion of multi walled carbon nanotubes (NWCNT) have been tested with different surfactants. Herein, we investigated a novel method to prepare highly dispersed MWCNTs using the mixtures of cationic surfactant CTAB and anionic surfactant SDS. Stable dispersion were obtained at low total surfactant concentration as compares to their concentration where used alone and also e investigated that rich cationic mixtures disperse MWNTS better than anionic mixtures.
