I am trying to figure out the ways that non-covalent functionalization breaks between organic molecules based on pyrene and CNT. I am wondering about the energy of bonding, the effect of washing with different solvents, and the effect of water flow in case of contact between a thin layer of the functionalized compound and water flow.

1. If the overlap of pyrene and CNT is approximately equal to the size of the benzene ring, then you can estimate the energy by the energy of benzene-benzene. To do this, you need to take the average energy of the dimers (see pi-stacking wiki) and by laying pyrene molecules on the surface of the tubes to calculate the total energy. An accurate calculation must be done from first principles.
2. Wash the same portions with different solvents at the same ultracentrifugation time and scan the tubes under a scanning microscope.
3. Make the installation with water flow and similarly 2 investigate.
Great !
Best explanation by Prof. Yuri Mirgorod. A lot to learn form his experience and wisdom.
