ABSTRACT:
A method of making an asymmetric end-functionalized carbon nanotube film is described. The method includes providing a carbon nanotube film having a first end and a second end; contacting the first end of the carbon nanotube film with a first reactive medium; reacting the first end of the carbon nanotube film with the first reactive medium by a first physicochemical process; contacting the second end of the carbon nanotube film with a second reactive medium, wherein the first reactive medium is different from the second reactive medium; and reacting the second end of the carbon nanotube film with the second reactive medium by a second physicochemical process.
