Modifying the sorption properties of multi-walled carbon nanotubes via covalent functionalization.
We demonstrate that the functionalization of carbon nanotubes dramatically alters their sorption characteristics. The effect of covalent functionalization of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) on the gas phase adsorption and desorption of polar and nonpolar organics is presented. Carboxylation and nitration led to the generation of polar functional groups on the nanotube surface. The derivati...
متن کاملEffects of covalent functionalization on the biocompatibility characteristics of multi-walled carbon nanotubes.
We report the effect of chemical modification of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) on their activation of the human serum complement system, as well as the adsorption of human plasma proteins on MWNTs. Four different types of chemically-modified MWNTs were tested for complement activation via the classical and alternative pathways using haemolytic assays. Human plasma protein binding was al...
متن کاملNon-covalent and reversible functionalization of carbon nanotubes
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been proposed and actively explored as multipurpose innovative nanoscaffolds for applications in fields such as material science, drug delivery and diagnostic applications. Their versatile physicochemical features are nonetheless limited by their scarce solubilization in both aqueous and organic solvents. In order to overcome this drawback CNTs can be easily non-cov...
متن کاملBrominated single walled carbon nanotubes as versatile precursors for covalent sidewall functionalization.
Herein we report on the facile preparation of brominated SWCNTs based on two complementary reductive activation routes. The respective brominated SWCNTs are highly reactive and can be used in nucleophilic substitution reactions and represent versatile starting materials for the generation of sidewall functionalized SWCNTs with a high density of functional moieties.
متن کاملCovalent sidewall functionalization of single-walled carbon nanotubes: a photoreduction approach.
Covalent sidewall functionalization of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) via photoreduction of aromatic ketones by alcohols is reported for the first time. Irradiation of benzophenone, benzhydrol and SWNTs in benzene resulted in covalent attachment of benzhydrol to the sidewalls of the SWNTs. A variety of tools were used to characterize the functionalized SWNTs. Raman scattering, UV-visibl...
