30. The purified MWNT sample may still contain a small amount of iron-related particles, but there is no evidence for any effects of these particles on the functionalization reactions.
31. For all fractions, the apparent weight loss in the functionalization reaction underestimates the amount of MWNTs in the soluble sample in comparison with the result from the TGA analysis, because the residue from the reaction contains some functional groups.

34. Surface charging effect in SEM analysis occurs when the sample surface is of low conductivity. The effect is usually reduced significantly via coating the sample with a thin layer of metal, such as Pt or Au.
