Carbon nanotubes in the liquid phase: addressing the issue of dispersion.
TL;DR: There is an important issue or misunderstanding between the term "dispersion" and "solubilization" and many researchers use the terms interchangeably, particularly when stating the interaction of CNTs with liquids, which causes confusion among the readers, students, and researchers.

Dispersion of single-walled carbon nanotubes by using surfactants: are the type and concentration important?
TL;DR: This study is the first example of a systematic study on the dispersion of SWNTs in aqueous solution by comparing three different types (neutral, cationic, and anionic) of surfactants, and also considering the effect of significant parameters such as the surfactant and SWNT concentrations.

Supramolecular nanoencapsulation as a tool: solubilization of the anticancer drug trans-dichloro(dipyridine)platinum(II) by complexation with beta-cyclodextrin.
TL;DR: It is reported that the encapsulation with cyclodextrin allowed to solubilize the complex to a solubility value of 1.6 mg/mL, and the cytotoxicity in vitro of the novel inclusion complex indicated a much higher activity after encapsulation.
