20. 2) for 5 days at 90°C. The reaction mixture was filtered through a 0.2-μm Cole Palmer Telfon membrane and washed with water and acetone to ensure complete removal of unreacted 6-aminohexanoic acid, reaction byproducts, and solvent. The AHA-SWNTs (2) were dried overnight in vacuum at 70°C. Glysine-SWNT (1) and AUDA-SWNT (3) were made by a similar method.
