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 …

We begin with a general description of the chemical, physical, and electrical properties of
organic semiconductors, OSCs, a class of materials that includes molecular semiconductors …

Photosynthesis is used by nature to convert light energy into chemical energy in some living
systems. In such a process, a cascade of very efficient, short-range energy and electron …

The world of nanomaterials provides exciting challenges and opportunities for chemists,
physicists, biologists, and material scientists. The use of nanomaterials as building blocks for …

Among the various polymorphs of carbon in inorganic form, such as diamond, graphite,
fullerene, and carbon nanotubes, a new polymorph, a 2D single graphene layer, has …

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have attracted much attention on account of their
potential to be transformed into new materials that can be employed to address a wide …

The low or lack of solubility of fullerenes, carbon nanotubes and graphene/graphite in
organic solvents and water severely hampers the study of their chemical functionalizations …

Due to their large chemically active surface and stability at high temperatures carbon
nanotubes (CNTs) have been used as a support material for the dispersion and stabilization …

In this critical review we survey non-covalent interactions of carbon nanotubes with
molecular species from a chemical perspective, particularly emphasising the relationship …

Carbon based nanomaterials have emerged over the last few years as important agents for
biomedical fluorescence and Raman imaging applications. These spectroscopic techniques …
