Crospovidone-wrapped single walled carbon nanotubes solubility: solute-solvent interaction & structural mechanism / Malahah Mohamed

Crospovidone is a highly hydrophobic polymer but has a good capability as a carrier and excipient. With the aid of surfactant (SDS), the solubilization of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in water has been achieved by polymer wrapping. Polymer wrapped single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) hav...
