Study of SOPC with embedded pristine and amide-functionalized single wall carbon nanotubes by DSC and FTIR spectroscopy

Using two typical experimental methods, differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) analysis and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, we have studied the effect of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), both amide functionalized (f–SWCNTs) and non-functionalized pristine (p-SWCNTs), on the thermal and structural properties of the SOPC phospholipid. We proposed and discussed possible physical mechanisms driving the thermodynamic and...
