NTs polymerized for various times and prepolymerized nanotubes (1.5 mg) were dispersed in hexane, placed in an aluminum cell for the DSC, and allowed to dry in a vacuum oven for 24 h at 25°C. The DSC cell was placed on a differential scanning calorimeter (Shimadzu; DSC 60) under a helium purge. Scanning rates of 10°C/min were used over a temperature range of 25-140 °C. To determine the stability of the nanotubes at high temperature, the prepolymerized and polymerized nanotubes were placed on a hot stage (150°C) for 10 s and then sputter coated with a 3.5 nm coating of gold/palladium (Cressington Auto 108, Cressington, Watford, U.K.). Samples were viewed in a JEOL JEM-6335F scanning electron microscope (JEOL, Peabody, MA) at 10 kV. For determination of solvent stability, chloroform was added to the prepolymerized and polymerized nanotubes on glass slides prior to scanning electron microscopy.
