Journal ArticleDOI
The Differential Cytotoxicity of Water-Soluble Fullerenes
Christie M. Sayes,John D. Fortner,Wenh Guo,Delina Y. Lyon,Adina M. Boyd,Kevin D. Ausman,Yizhi Jane Tao,Balaji Sitharaman,Lon J. Wilson,Joseph B. Hughes,Jennifer L. West,Vicki L. Colvin +11 more
TL;DR: It is shown that under ambient conditions in water fullerenes can generate superoxide anions and postulate that these oxygen radicals are responsible for membrane damage and subsequent cell death, and both a strategy for enhancing the toxicity of fullerene for certain applications such as cancer therapeutics or bactericides, as well as a remediation for the possible unwarranted biological effects of pristine fullererenes.
Journal ArticleDOI
C60 in water: nanocrystal formation and microbial response.
John D. Fortner,Delina Y. Lyon,Christie M. Sayes,Adina M. Boyd,J C Falkner,E M Hotze,Lawrence B. Alemany,Yizhi Jane Tao,W Guo,Kevin D. Ausman,Vicki L. Colvin,Joseph B. Hughes +11 more
TL;DR: The environmental fate, distribution, and biological risk associated with this important class of engineered nanomaterials will require a model that addresses not only the properties of bulk C60 but also that of the aggregate form generated in aqueous media.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reaction of water-stable C60 aggregates with ozone.
John D. Fortner,Dooil Kim,Adina M. Boyd,Joshua C. Falkner,Sean Moran,Vicki L. Colvin,Joseph B. Hughes,Jae-Hong Kim +7 more
TL;DR: Findings indicate a facile reaction occurs between C60, as a nanoscale suspension, and dissolved ozone in the aqueous phase, resulting in aggregate dissolution concurrent with formation of water-soluble fullerene oxide species.
