Abstract

Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs), single-, double-, and multiwalled can be easily suspended up to 10 mg/ml in biocompatible carboxymethylcellulose or κ-carrageenan as these polymers are envisioned to wrap themselves around CNTs effectively forming aqueous solutions. Glucose oxidase was used as a model to show the biocompatibility and stability of the entrapped enzyme in a κ-carrageenan-CNT network.
