Sonication is a powerful technique to promote the dispersion of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and enhance their solubility; this is necessary for CNT applications, especially in the biochemical and biomedical fields. In this study, batch experiments were conducted to evaluate the role of sonication energy on the dispersion of CNTs in the presence of a widely used anionic surfactant, sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS). It was observed that the concentration of dispersed CNTs in the SDBS solution depended on the sonication energy, but not the sonication time or output power of the sonicator alone. The amount of dispersed CNTs was positively correlated with the concentrations of SDBS and CNTs, and the length of the CNTs. The promotion of oxygen-containing functional groups on the dispersed CNTs was observed at relatively low sonication energies. The optimal energy, i.e. the minimum energy supplied by sonication to achieve a saturated suspension of dispersed CNTs in the SDBS solution, was CNT diameter-dependent, because of the larger vdW forces between tubes of smaller diameter. An exponential decay curve was constructed for the optimal energy values as a function of the outer CNT diameter, to assist in determining the energy needed to disperse CNTs.
