Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Provided herein composition and methods for nanoporous membranes comprising single walled, double walled, or multi-walled carbon nanotubes embedded in a matrix material. Average pore size of the carbon nanotube can be 6 nm or less. These membranes are a robust platform for the study of confined molecular transport, with applications in liquid and gas separations and chemical sensing including desalination, dialysis, and fabric formation.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A membrane comprising an array of carbon nanotubes functionalized on at least one end of at least one of the nanotubes with from about 5% to about 100% of the sites available for functionalization are functionalized with members of a first group and optionally the remainder of the sites available for functionalization remain free of functionalization or are functionalized with members of a second group, wherein the nanotubes have average pore size of about 6…
