Title: Effects of dissolved gases in the dispersion of carbon nanotubes in water

Abstract: Normally, carbon nano-tubes (CNT) cannot be dispersed easily in water because of the hydrophobicity of carbon surfaces. Usually, surfactants are added to form a stable CNT/Water dispersion. Here we report our experiments to explore the effects of dissolved gases in the water on the formation of CNT/water dispersion. In the experiments, multi-wall CNT are dispersed by sonification in water with and without degassing by the freeze-pump-thaw method. Contrary to the formation of stable surfactant-free dispersion...
