Using INS to Probe Why m-Cresol Disperses Carbon Nanotubes
Abstract: m-Cresol shows a surprising ability to disperse carbon nanotubes across a wide concentration range. Recent total neutron scattering (NIMROD) measurements highlight that significant solvent rearrangement of the m-cresol is involved, however, probing the inter-solvent interactions with IR/Raman is hindered by the black-body absorption of carbon nanotubes. Here, INS will be used to investigate the vibrational properties both at the interface (using high nanotube concentrations) and in the bulk (at NIMROD-matching low concentrations) in addition to comparing to non-dispersing controls; phenol and toluene.
