Alignment of Polysaccharide-SWNT Composites by Metal-Ligand Interactions
The composite of terpyridine-modified polysaccharide (TPySPG) and single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) afforded sheet-like morphologies in the presence of: ferric ion. On the basis of TEM images, it was proposed that the sheet-like morphologies are created by the metal-ligand interaction cross-linking TPySPG/SWNT components.
