Abstract
The organic functionalization of either [60]fullerene or MWCNTs with a highly efficient organogelator has allowed the production of novel and homogeneously dispersed soft-nanocomposites. While the nanostructured carbon materials produced by simple mixing do not homogeneously disperse into a preformed gel, C 60 - and MWCNT-containing gels have been conveniently obtained by covalent functionalization of the carbon lattice with reactive organogelator derivatives. The present study, while emphasizing the gelling properties of a selected class of organogelators, allows the conjugation of the properties of gels and nanostructured carbon materials yielding novel soft-nanocomposites.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
