Composites of Functional Poly(phenylacetylene)s and Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes: Preparation, Dispersion, and Near Infrared Photoresponsive Properties
the normally used surfactant of sodium dodecyl sulfate. The effective interactions between PPA-m and SWNTs should be ascribed to the helical wrapping of the PPA-m backbone on SWNTs and the π–π interactions between the phenyl groups and SWNTs. The long alkyl tails on the side-chains also prevent individual SWNTs from reaggregation. Additionally, the near-infrared (nIR) photoresponsive electrical conductivity
