Functionalization of carbon nanotubes with oligonucleotide in solutions - Production of nanotube chips

Multiwall carbon nanotubes were synthesized using the catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique followed by an oxidative purification process. The nanotube modified by functional groups were connected by pre-synthesized oligonucleotides in solution. The material thus obtained was characterized by various microscopic methods. The preparation of nanotube chips is discussed.
