Abstract
Nanocarbons such as photoluminescent single-walled carbon nanotubes are promising materials in biomedical field as molecular imaging agents, optical probes and biosensors. However, these carbon-only nanomaterials lack active surface functional moieties to interact effectively with select biomolecules of interest, which limits their potential applications. Tailored surface functionalization is essential for anticipated functions and bio-compatibility. Polymer adsorption on nanocarbons through multivalent interactions provides a versatile platform to develop functional materials with tunable surface chemistry. Herein, we investigate on biomimetic polymer scaffolds for carbon nanotubes to modulate their physiochemical properties and bio-molecular interactions.
