Abstract
Methods of forming a microelectronic structure are described. Embodiments of those methods include attaching at least one functional group to a chondroitin sulfate molecule, and then attaching the at least one functional group to a carbon nanotube, wherein the carbon nanotube is made soluble in a solution.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- attaching at least one functional group to a chondroitin sulfate molecule;
- and
- attaching the at least one functional group attached to the chondroitin sulfate molecule to a carbon nanotube, wherein the carbon nanotube is made soluble in a solution.
A method comprising:
- selectively attaching a chondroitin sulfate molecule to at least one of a targeted class of carbon nanotube, wherein the at least one of the targeted class of carbon nanotube is in a solution comprising a plurality of different classes of carbon nanotubes;
- and
- separating the at least one of the targeted class of carbon nanotube from the plurality of different classes of carbon nanotubes.
A structure comprising:
- at least one chondroitin sulfate molecule attached to a carbon nanotube, wherein the chondroitin sulfate molecule comprises at least one functional group.
