32. According to the software ACD/HNMR Predictor for predicting NMR chemical shifts, amidation should result in down-field shifts of as much as 0.5-1 ppm for the adjacent caprolactam methylene protons. Therefore, the observed upfield shifts must be due to strong influence of the nanotube aromatic system, which overcomes the opposite effect from the amidation.
33. Based on the population of ε-caprolactam in the caprolactam-SWNT sample, the composition in nylon-SWNT corresponds to about 20 repeating units in each nanotube-attached nylon-6 chain (molecular weight ∼ 2200).
