In vivo imaging in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000–1700 nm), which enables
us to look deeply into living subjects, is producing marvelous opportunities for biomedical …

The most important and indispensable substance for life on earth is water. Regrettably, the
growths of civilization, population, and industrssialization have led to a steady deterioration …

This paper reviews progress that has been made in the use of Raman spectroscopy to study
graphene and carbon nanotubes. These are two nanostructured forms of sp2 carbon …

Fluorescent carbon nanomaterials have broadly useful chemical and photophysical
attributes that are conducive to applications in biology. In this review, we focus on materials …

The preparation of effective dispersions of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) presents a major
impediment to the extension and utilization of CNTs. CNTs intrinsically tend to bundle and/or …

The unidirectional growth of materials to form nanowires or nanotubes has attracted
enormous interest in recent years. Within the different classes of tubes made of organic or …

Removal of noxious materials such as heavy metal ions (which are hazardous above certain
ppm concentration) from wastewater is one of the biggest environmental challenges that …

Naked metallic and semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were
dissolved in organic solutions by derivatization with thionychloride and octadecylamine …

Polymer/carbon nanotube (CNT) composites are expected to have good processability
characteristics of the polymer and excellent functional properties of the CNTs. The critical …

The present study demonstrates the creation of a stable, superhydrophobic surface using
the nanoscale roughness inherent in a vertically aligned carbon nanotube forest together …
