摘要

Single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) werestabilized with N-octyl octyl-O-sulphate chitosan (NOSC).The data show showed ed that NOSC can bind to carbonnanotubes, resulting in he helical wra lical wrapping to the surface,pping and improve their suspension in aqueous envirnment.Further studies will focus on the properties of NOSC NOSC,such as anticoagulant activity, that can imporve thebiocompatibility of SWNTs opening their use forbiomedical applications.
