Polycarbodiimide encapsulation of SWCNTs. (A) Scheme showing the preparation of polymer–SWCNT aqueous suspensions. (B) Atomic force micrograph of Amine-Poly-7–SWCNT complexes showing periodic banding along the nanotube surface. (C) Magnified AFM image of a single Amine-Poly-7–SWCNT complex. (D) Height profile of a single polymer–nanotube complex; direction is denoted by the red arrow in image C.
