The use of AFM to study molecular recognition events at an incredible level of sensitivity is
currently a very active field of research. In order to get information at the single molecule …

In the present study, we report the systematic investigation of the effect of chemical oxidation
on the structure of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) by using different oxidants. The …

Considerable improvement in the dispersion of purified single-walled carbon nanotubes
(SWNTs) in an epoxy composite was obtained through functionalization of the SWNTs by …

Since their discovery more than a decade ago, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have held
scientists and engineers in captive fascination, seated on the verge of enormous …

Scanning probe microscopy (SPM) comprises a family of techniques that measure surface
