Amino groups on the CNT surface by a solvent-free modification using Z-Gly-OH and formaldehyde

This talk presents a modified method of a solvent-free approach with the production of amino groups on the CNT surface using Z-Gly-OH. In particular, it is proposed to use a formaldehyde, which can increase the contact area of the functionalizing substances with carbon nanotubes and, thus, reduce the complexity of the functionalization. Additional advantages of this method as a 1.3-dipolar cycloaddition are the absence of crystal lattice destruction during the functionalization and the possibility of conducting the reaction in the absence of special equipment.
