The present work reports covalent functionalization of single-walled carbon nanotubes (f-SWNTs) to introduce hydrophilicity to the otherwise amphiphobic nanotubes. The charge and spacer length of the functional moiety were varied by using quaternized ethylene diamine, 6-aminocaproate, quaternized (ethylenedioxy)bis(ethylamine), and a
