Health and environmental impacts of graphene-based materials need to be thoroughly evaluated before their potential applications. Graphene has strong cytotoxicity toward bacteria. To better understand its antimicrobial mechanism, we compared the antibacterial activity four types (graphite (Gt), graphite oxide (GtO), graphene (GO), reduced (rGO)) a bacterial model—Escherichia coli. Under similar concentration incubation conditions, GO dispersion shows highest activity, sequentially followed...

To further our understanding on the antibacterial activity of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), high purity SWCNTs with average diameter 0.83 nm and (7,5) chirality as dominate (n,m) structure were dispersed in a biocompatible surfactant solution. Ultraviolet−visible−near-infrared radiation absorption spectroscopy was employed to monitor aggregation SWCNTs. The results demonstrated that individually more toxic than SWCNT aggregates toward bacteria (gram-negative Escherichia coli,...

High purity of (7,5) SWNTs (∼79% the semisonducting SWNT ensemble) can be obtained by polymer-assisted extraction from narrow-diameter distributed produced catalyst Co-MCM-41. The fluorene-based polymers are able to selectively wrap single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with certain chiral angles or diameters depending on their chemical structures.
