(a) In a typical experiment, 0.2 mg of SWNT (HiPco) was sonicated in 5 mL of water for 20 min and subsequently treated with a solution of 15-20 mg of amylose in DMSO by 4 min of sonication for complete solubilization. (b) From the low yield of the pure final product obtained after repeated washing/centrifugation cycles, it was estimated that about 50% of the product remains in the washing solutions along with free amylose. The supernatants containing smaller bundles and free NTs encapsulated were recovered for later characterizations.

22. (d) The absorption at 500 nm is relatively unaffected by NTs conditions and has been used to estimate NTs dissolved in solutions (ref 10a-c). Beer's law was satisfied by absorptions at 500 nm.
23. Although the amylose coating would be significantly bulky, it is assumed that many NTs exist as small bundles in the solution as prepared, which was used for the micrographs after a brief filtration without any size fractionation.
