TL;DR: In this article, the current status of available methodologies for the aqueous dispersion and solubilization of carbon nanotubes, discuss the results on modifications of carbon-nanotubes with various biological and bioactive species, and highlight some of the recent achievements in the fabrication and evaluation of carbonnanotube-based bioanalytical devices.

TL;DR: A derivatized porphyrin with long alkyl chains, 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(hexadecyloxyphenyl)-21H,23H-porphine, is selective toward semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in presumably noncovalent interactions, resulting in significantly enriched semiconductor SWNTs in the solubilized sample.

TL;DR: A coumarin-based colorimetric chemosensor 1 exhibits good sensitivity and selectivity for the copper cation over other cations both in aqueous solution and on paper-made test kits.

TL;DR: The mechanistic selectivity and sensitivity of compound 1 to Cd2+ was discussed on the basis of fluorescence, 1H NMR, and mass spectroscopic results.

TL;DR: A single-walled carbon nanotube was exploited for its semi-flexible pseudo-one-dimensional nanostructure as a unique scaffold to display multivalent carbohydrate ligands, with a specific demonstration showing that galactosylated carbon nanOTubes were effective in the capturing of pathogenic Escherichia coli in solution.
