Abstract

Chemistry Chemistry, Physical Materials Science Materials Science, Multidisciplinary Physical Sciences Physics Physics, Multidisciplinary Polymer Science Science & Technology Technology
We report that nucleotides disentangle and disperse multiwalled boron nitride nanotubes in aqueous solution via pi-pi stacking interactions. Quantum dot-boron nitride nanotube hybrid materials were produced by using guanosine 5'-monophosphate as a linking reagent. These hybrid materials are highly promising for biomedical imaging technologies.
