This dissertation aims to demonstrate that photoluminescence spectroscopy could be an efficient technique of functionalized carbon nanotube detection and imaging. The advances in nanotechnology and the potential growth in carbon nanotubes production, in which if control mechanisms not in place for safely disposing off nanotubes, these nanotubes could pose as an environmental pollutant, due to the severe, persistent and bio-accumulative nature of these compounds. Therefore, the need for this scientific research is timely in case of some technological disaster. Besides, the study on interaction of carbon nanotubes with various organic materials provide a new knowledge and opportunities for potential application of the nanotubes.
