Carbon nanotubes are functionalized in a broadly applicable manner. According to an example embodiment of the present invention, single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are noncovalently functionalized. The functionalized SWNTs are highly versatile, being useful for a variety of implementations, including...http://www.google.de/patents/US8029734?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US8029734 - Noncovalent sidewall functionalization of carbon nanotubes
