Abstract.
We describe here the high yield filling (i.e. >50%) of single walled nanotubes (SWNTs) with a variety of halides, achieved according to various modified filling procedures. Both bundles and discrete SWNTs can be filled continuously up to lengths of several hundred nm, often with filling yields approaching 60–70% or better. In addition some high yield filled SWNTs were subjected to long-term washing in either boiling or room temperature. aqueous media, which does not remove the filling from the tubules, but enables effective removal of water-soluble extraneous materials .
