The dispersion of carbon nanotubes in water with the aid of very small amounts of ionic liquid

Abstract

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes can be dispersed stably in water with the aid of a very small amount of 1-aminoethyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([C(2)NH(2)mim][Br]) or 1-(2-aminoethyl) pyridinium bromide ([C(2)NH(2)py][Br]).
