Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, University of Houston

Abstract: Chemical methods for preparation of fluorinated carbon nanotubes and their functional derivatives published over the last 10–15 years are considered in detail and critically analyzed. Fluorinated carbon nanotube derivatives represent a new family of nanoscale fluorocarbon materials promising new applications in nanocomposites, sensors, nanoelectronic devices, nanoengineered drug delivery systems and lubricants. The bibliography includes 166 references.
