| Research Abstract |
A new class of single-walled carbon nanotube(SWNT). polymer hydrogel has been developed using a polymerizable surfactant, which we newly developed. The composite hydrogels were prepared by the template and cross-linking polymerization of micellar assembly formed of SWNT and polymerizable surfactant in aqueous solution. In the present polymerization, the external magnetic field was found to have a significant influence on the anisotropic alignment of SWNT in the resultant materials.
