A quantitative method using near infrared absorption is used to study the biodistribution of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the liver, lungs and spleen after intravenous injection into mice. It is found that the CNTs could be removed almost completely from the lungs when their accumulation is low.

ABSTRACTWe report anisotropic optical absorption and saturable absorption (SA) properties of aligned single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT) embedded in the mechanically stretched polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film. Polarized absorption spectra of the film showed a strong anisotropy for the near-infrared band gap transition of semiconductor SWNT with a dichroic ratio of 7.4, indicating the good alignment of the embedded SWNT. The SA property of the band gap transition measured using a polarized femtosecond fiber laser showed a strong polarization angle dependence for the stretched film. When the polarization of light is parallel to the stretching direction, the absorption saturation of the stretched film became more efficient than that of the unstretched film because of the apparently stronger transition moment.
