Arrangement of palladium nanoparticles templated by supramolecular self-assembly of SDS wrapped on single-walled carbon nanotubes

We report a facile route to selectively deposit and arrange palladium (Pd) nanoparticles on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) having sub 10 nm diameter by using supramolecular self-assembly of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as a soft template.
