Abstract
A supramolecular assembly of amylose and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) was synthesized in situ through vine-twining polymerization. Raman analysis indicated that the amylose–SWNTs supramolecular assembly was formed after the polymerization and SEM images displayed the twisted ribbons in the SWNTs wrapped by amylose. The dispersion stability of the SWNTs in aqueous solutions was improved by the wrapping of short-chain amylose molecules around the SWNTs.
