Abstract
A thin, uniform coating of a polymer can suspend single-walled carbon nanotubes in water. The polymer coating is stabilized by the hydrophobic effect. Upon crosslinking this system under dilute conditions, the polymer sheath becomes stable to changes in solvent system. Upon crosslinking the system under semi-dilute conditions, robust three-dimensional networks are formed. Progress toward generating aerogels from these monolayer-coated nanotubes is reported.
