31. The concentration of CNTs in solution was determined by weighing the undispersed CNTs separated from the solution by centrifuge for 10 min at 2000 rpm.
32. The CNT sample used in EDX study was prepared by three cycles of centrifuge and redispersing process to eliminate free copolymers that were not bound to the carbon nanotubes.
33. SWCNT was treated by 3:1 sulfuric acid and nitric acid briefly before being dispersed by P3HT-b-PS to eliminate the influence of ferromagnetic particles on 'H NMR spectral analysis.
