Water soluble carbon nanotubes can be produced by attaching polyethylene glycol units to the carboxyl groups (Figure 3.67). In this way, it has been possible to dissolve several hundreds of milligrams in one milliUter of water. Useful derivatives can be prepared by reacting the carboxyl units at the ends of the tubes. One example are tips for a chemosensitive AFM (Section 3.6.1.1).

The use of electrodes modified with immobilized redox-active molecules provides a simple methodology by which to study the ultrathin film electrochemistry of water-insoluble redox-active molecules, encouraging the application of such techniques to biomimetic membranes in aqueous media. It is of interest to use monolayer and LB films of enzymes, proteins, and antibodies as biosensors or biomolecular switches because of their high sensitivity for their substrates and antigens, respectively. The formation of thin fullerene films including fullerene-lipid hybrid and fullerene-lipid composite bilayer membranes is of interest both from a fundamental and practical application point of view. Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are novel nanomaterials that have remarkable electronic, mechanical, and thermal properties, and specific functions. Soluble carbon nanotubes in aqueous and organic systems are of interest since their study allows the...
