Amino acid functionalization of double-wall carbon nanotubes studied by Raman spectroscopy

Chem Commun (Camb). 2007 Dec 14:(46):4925-7. doi: 10.1039/b711249a.

Abstract

Double-wall carbon nanotubes (DWNT) have been functionalized with lysine after a strong oxidation with MnO4- in acid solution which, as suggested by the Raman spectra, attacked the external nanotube of the DWNT.
