We propose the unique structure of highly dispersible single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in various solvents and polymers using the ZnO nano particle template. Buckled nanospring-shaped carbon nanotubes (NS-CNTs) were synthesized by a chemical reaction of ZnO nanoparticles with acid-treated SWCNTs and then dissolving ZnO through chemical etching. The unique structure of distorted hexagonal NS-CNTs encircled around ZnO nanoparticles was formed by the bending of SWCNTs caused by the agglomera ...[more]
