Non-covalent functionalisation of monolithic silica for the development of carbon nanotube HPLC stationary phases

► Immobilization of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) on a monolithic HPLC material. ► Separation of aromatic compounds in a very short analysis time. ► Comparison with aequivalent C18 monolithic column showed that the SWCNT column presented the best efficiency in similar chromatographic conditions.
