Highly ordered binary superlattices … … of 1D nano-objects are demonstrated for hydrophilically functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes (p-SWNTs) and cylindrical surfactant micelles. In their Communication on page 12548 ff., S.-M. Choi et al. show that when p-SWNTs are added into a hexagonally packed cylindrical micellar system, p-SWNTs form a hexagonal array embedded in a honeycomb lattice of surfactant cylinders to maximize the free-volume entropies of both 1D nano-objects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
