Effects of fullerene (C60), multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) and hydroxyl and carboxyl modified single wall carbon nanotubes on riverine microbial communities.
Commercial production of nanoparticles (NP) has created a need for research to support regulation of nanotechnology. In the current study, microbial biofilm communities were developed in rotating annular reactors during continuous exposure to 500 μg L(-1) of each nanomaterial and subjected to multimetric analyses. Scanning transmission X-ray spectromicroscopy (STXM) was used to detect and estim...
متن کاملCarboxyl-modified single-walled carbon nanotubes negatively affect bacterial growth and denitrification activity
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have been used in a wide range of fields, and the surface modification via carboxyl functionalization can further improve their physicochemical properties. However, whether carboxyl-modified SWNT poses potential risks to microbial denitrification after its release into the environment remains unknown. Here we present the possible effects of carboxyl-modifi...
متن کاملCarboxyl-modified single-walled carbon nanotubes selectively induce human telomeric i-motif formation.
As the leading nanodevice candidate, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have potential therapeutic applications in gene therapy and novel drug delivery. We found that SWNTs can inhibit DNA duplex association and selectively induce human telomeric i-motif DNA formation by binding to the 5'-end major groove under physiological conditions or even at pH 8.0. SWNT binding to telomeric DNA was st...
متن کاملCarbon Capture Using Amine-modified Carbon Nanotubes
The increasing rise in the rate of both anthropogenic CO2 emissions and atmospheric CO2 concentration, combined with an evolving understanding of what this means for global climate change both now, and in the future, has increased the need for novel technologies for CO2 capture from large point sources. Current industry standards involve the use of amine solvents, which have a large parasitic l...
متن کاملNarrow Carbon Nanotubes: Metals or Semiconductors?
We report local density functional results that show that narrow nanotubes with optimized diameters between about 0.34 and 0.5 nm can be either semiconducting or metallic, but with electron structures near the Fermi level that often cannot be understood starting from the graphene sheet model, successful in the study of larger diameter tubes. Our total energy calculations indicate that narrow na...
