Regression Modeling of Oxygen-Functionalized Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes in Aqueous Dispersions.

ABSTRACT: Due to high drug loading and effective cell permeability, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are promising nanocarriers for drug delivery systems. However, SWCNTs tend to aggregate in dispersion media because of their high aspect ratio and intrinsic hydrophobicity. Thus, the dispersion and stability of SWCNTs in water strongly depend on the dispersion method and CNT surface characteristics. Finding the optimal processing parameters and techniques for SWCNT dispersion remains challenging. This study proposes a surface modification technique (oxidation) and ultrasonication methodology to achieve well-dispersed and stable SWCNT dispersions in water. A D-optimal design was utilized to construct the experiment and investigate the effects of oxidation time and sonication conditions on hydro
