The paper discusses the impact of functionalization in understanding the solubility of (n, 0) single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) with varying diameters (n = 8-16) to increase its dispersion in water with the aide of spin-unrestricted density functional theory (DFT). A finite nanotube model satura...
