摘要
我们在场在由密度坡度 ultracentrifugation (DGU ) 的围单人赛的碳 nanotubes (SWNT ) 的分离的表面活化剂的效果的系统的研究。通过快活的密度，层位置，和用胆汁盐钠 deoxycholate (文档) 和 anionic 的 SWNT 分离的光吸收度系列的分析腌钠 dodecyl 硫酸盐(SDS ) ，我们在产出不同 DGU 结果澄清这二表面活化剂的角色和相互作用。这里描述的分离机制能也在由预言不同开始的配方的结果的品质上设计新 DGU 实验帮助，改进 DGU 的功效并且简化 post-DGU 分别。
We present a systematic study of the effects of surfactants in the separation of single-walled carbon nanotubes （SWNTs） by density gradient ultracentrifugation （DGU）. Through analysis of the buoyant densities, layer positions, and optical absorbance spectra of SWNT separations using the bile salt sodium deoxycholate （DOC） and the anionic salt sodium dodecyl sulfate （SDS）, we clarify the roles and interactions of these two surfactants in yielding different DGU outcomes. The separation mechanism described here can also help in designing new DGU experiments by qualitatively predicting outcomes of different starting recipes, improving the efficacy of DGU and simplifying post-DGU fractionation.
