SWNTs have a high aspect ratio and extraordinary electrical, chemical and mechanical properties. Owing to their excellent property, CNTs became a promising material for diverse applications. Unfortunately, CNTs predominantly exist in an aggregated state due to the van der Waals interaction between themselves. Various methods have been studied for decades to uniformly disperse and align CNTs in a matrix. In this study, we prepared an oligothiophene-based organogelator by imine condensation between the oligothiophene unit having aldehyde end groups and benzamide derivatives having long alkyl chains. A gel/SWNT composite was prepared by mixing SWNTs in a gelator solution and its structure and property were studied. |
