Abstract:
We report the covalent functionalization of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with biotin. The synthesized functionalized SWNT materials were fully characterized by FTIR and thermogravimetric analysis. These characterization techniques provided valuable information concerning the nature of the obtained SWNT materials as well as the efficiency of the employed synthetic route towards SWNT covalent functionalization with biotin.
