Dibenzocarbazoles have been investigated as a possible polymer candidate for the functionalization of carbon nanotubes. Due to its high aspect ratio, strong Van der Waals forces exist between the carbon nanotubes, therefore affecting their solubilising properties. Functionalization of carbon nanotub...
