Abstrakt: A facile and effective method of dispersion of double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWNTs) was developed. At appropriate pH value and sonication, myoglobin helps the solubilization of DWNTs. The product is a pH-sensitive dispersion, which remains in a highly dispersed state at pH<3.0 and pH>10.0. This approach can be used to disperse DWNTs in scale. A reversible conversion of the highly dispersed state to the aggregated state could be observed by changing the pH value. This feature holds great promise for the development of pH sensors.
