Single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) decorated with polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) were synthesized via the amide linkages between the acid treated SWNTs and amine-functionalized POSS. The successful modification of SWNTs with POSS was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and UV-Vis spectra. The resulting SWNTs-POSS can be dispersed in both water and organic solutions. The biocompatibility and cytotoxicity of the SWNTs and SWNTs-POSS were evaluated by CCK-8 viability assays, which indicated that SWNTs-POSS exhibit very extremely low toxicity. The low toxicity of the POSS modified SWNTs leads to more opportunities for using carbon nanotubes in biomedical fields.

In this work nickel octadecylphthalocyanine (NiPc(C10H21)8) and cadmium telluride quantum dots (QDs) capped with thioglycolic acid (TGA) are adsorbed on single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) to form NiPc(C10H21)8 -SWCNT-QDs conjugate. X-ray photoelectron, ultra violet/visible and Raman spectroscopies are used to characterize the conjugate. SWCNT, poly- Ni(O)Pc(C10H21)8 , NiPc(C10H21)8 -SWCNT and NiPc(C10H21)8 -SWCNT-QDs complexes are used to modify glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and used for the electro-oxidation of pentachlorophenol as a test molecule. NiPc(C10H21)8 -SWCNT-QDs electrode gave the best detection current for pentachlorophenol.

A new and efficient method for the thioamidation of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) has been introduced by direct addition of an intermediately generated nitrogen-based nucleophile. In this approach, there is a synergistic effect between benzonitrile, CaH2, and thioacetic acid leading to the formation of calcium thiolate which subsequently added to the sidewalls of the tubes. This finding was also confirmed when SWCNTs with benzonitrile moieties on their sidewalls were tested. The successful covalent functionalization of SWCNTs has been proven by thermogravimetric analysis, Raman, IR, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy techniques.

The functionalization of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) by noncovalent approach turned to be an effect strategy. Porphyrin and its derivatives are ideal materials for the decoration of SWCNTs. In this work, 5-(4-carboxypheny1)-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin (H2CPTPP) was synthesized and covalently combined to the chitosan. The prepared chitosan/H2CPTPP composite was further conjugated with the oxidized SWCNTs to form chitosan/H2CPTPP/SWCNTs ternary composite. The results indicated that the carboxyl group of H2CPTPP was successfully introduced into the chitosan, which was confirmed by Fourier Transform infrared (FT/IR) spectroscopy, Raman shift and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The solution of chitosan/ H2CPTPP/SWCNTs composite displays fluorescence quenching effect compared with that of chitosan/H2CPTPP composite at 615 nm and 654 nm upon excitation at 425nm.
