Abstract
A fluorescent material may include a medium, carbon nanotubes dispersed in the medium, and a fluorescent surfactant. The fluorescent surfactant may be adsorbed to a surface of some of the carbon nanotubes in a concentration sufficient to make the material fluoresce in the presence of radiation. The material may be applied to a material and tested for fluorescence, electrical conductivity, or carbon nanotube structure.
