Figure 3

Characterization of silver coated single walled carbon nanotube formulations by SEM (a & b) and TEM (c & d). (a) SEM image of silver coated single walled carbon nanotubes dispersed in NanoSperse AQ® dispersant (SWCNTs-Ag). (b) SEM image of pegylated SWCNTs (pSWCNTs-Ag). The hazy coating around the SWCNTs-Ag is apparent and silver deposition is indicated by an arrow. (c) TEM image of SWCNTs-Ag. (d) TEM of pSWCNTs-Ag. (e) Magnified inset of image C showing the diameter of SWCNT-Ag as 6 nm. (f) Magnified inset of image D showing pSWCNTs-Ag of 54 nm.
