The water solubilisation of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) has been achieved by polymer wrapping. The present study aims at highlighting the solute–solvent interaction and thermodynamic parameters in the solubilisation of polyvinyl pyrrolidone wrapped single walled carbon nanotubes (PVP-SWNTs) in water. Conductivity and density values of both PVP and PVP-SWNTs have been determined in water maintaining different concentrations (0.005–0.1 g/L) at temperatures 298.15, 303.15, 308.15 and 313.15 K. The conductance values have been used to evaluate the limiting molar conductance (∧om) and the activation energy (Es). From the density values, the limiting partial molar volumes and expansibilities have been calculated. The estimated parameters were discussed in terms of solute–solvent interactions. |
