A strategy for the functionalization of single-walled carbon nanotubes is reported. The synthesis involved the conversion of fluorinated single-walled carbon nanotubes to the thiolated derivative assisted by phosphorous pentasulfide. The thiol group is then quantitatively oxidized to the sulfonic ac
## Abstract **Summary:** Multiβwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) have been successfully modified with polyacrylonitrile (PAN) by a cathodic electrochemical process. The surfaceβmodified MWNTs afforded are then dispersible in good solvents for PAN, such as __N__,__N__βdimethylformamide (DMF). Collecte
