Covalent decoration of multi-walled carbon nanotubes with silica nanoparticles

We describe a novel tunable approach for the synthesis of carbon nanotube-silica nanobead composites. The control of nanotube morphology and bead size coupled with the versatility of silica chemistry makes these structures an excellent platform for the development of biosensors, or for optical, magn...

Zusammenfassung:We describe a novel tunable approach for the synthesis of carbon nanotube-silica nanobead composites. The control of nanotube morphology and bead size coupled with the versatility of silica chemistry makes these structures an excellent platform for the development of biosensors, or for optical, magnetic and catalytic applications.
