Hello everyone,
I'm currently exploring the functionalization of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with non-covalent methods. Could you kindly recommend the most effective techniques for non-covalent, catalyst-free functionalization of CNTs? I’m particularly interested in proven methods that offer high efficiency.
Additionally, I work with soybean plant. Would you recommend seed coating (seed priming) or foliar application (spraying) for optimal results? If foliar spraying is preferred, what is the best protocol—such as concentration, timing, and application method—to maximize effectiveness?
Any insightful papers, practical tips, or personal experiences you can share would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Effective non-covalent, catalyst-free CNT functionalization uses surfactants like Pluronic or Tween 20 and biomolecule wrapping for stable dispersion without altering CNT properties. For soybean, seed coating (priming) is generally more effective than foliar spraying, which requires low concentrations and careful timing to maximize uptake.
