Single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have been functionalized by a diazonium method through both a classical thermal reaction and a microwave-assisted reaction. The functionalized SWNTs have been characterized by nIR-Vis-UV absorption spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and thermal gravimetric analysis. The results show that SWNTs are covalently functionalized through both reactions and that the microwave-assisted reaction is more rapid. Moreover, optimal choice of the reaction time can prevent the microwave irradiation from the adverse effect of subsequently removing the functional groups on the SWNT surface.
