  • Removable non-conjugated polymers for dispersing carbon nanotubes
    Patent number: 10815125
    Abstract: Polymers having pendant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) groups covalently bound to the polymer backbone via thioester bonds are provided. The PAH groups are covalently bound to the backbone of the polymer by a molecular linker that includes a thioester bond. Also provided are dispersions of polymer-coated carbon nanotubes and carbon nanotube films formed from the dispersions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 5, 2018
    Date of Patent: October 27, 2020
    Assignee: Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation
    Inventors: Padma Gopalan, Michael Scott Arnold, Catherine Kanimozhi Kansiusarulsamy, Matthew John Shea

  • DEGRADABLE CONJUGATED POLYMERS FOR THE SELECTIVE SORTING OF SEMICONDUCTING CARBON NANOTUBES
    Publication number: 20180099870
    Abstract: Conjugated polymers composed of bi-pyridine units linked to 9,9-dialkyl fluorenyl-2,7-diyl units via imine linkages along the polymer backbone are provided. Also provided are semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes coated with the conjugated polymers and methods of sorting and separating s-SWCNTs from a sample comprising a mixture of s-SWCNTs and metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes using the conjugated polymers.
