Abstract

We find that functionalized SWCNT and DWCNT's (mainly double wall carbon nanotubes) in composites, DWCNTs under hydrostatic pressure and blue illuminated DWCNTs in methanol show the same up shift of the Raman G band and the appearance of a new band at 1455cm−1. This is attributed to the interaction of the CH3 group of the amphiphilic molecule in composites or the CH3 group of alcohol with the outer tube of DWCNT's and indicates that laser heating of DWCNT's in methanol can induce the chemical adsorption of CH3 onto the CNT (carbon nanotube) surface.
