In this study, complexes composed of poly-l-tyrosine (pLT) and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were produced and the dispersibility of the pLT/SWCNT complexes in water by measuring the ζ potential of the complexes and the turbidity of the solution were investigated. It is found that the absolute value of the ζ potential of the pLT/SWCNT complexes is as high as that of SWCNTs modified with double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) and that the complexes remain stably dispersed in the water at least for two weeks. Thermogravimetry analysis (TGA) and visualization of the surface structures of pLT/SWCNT complexes using an atomic force microscope (AFM) were also carried out.
在本研究中，制备了由聚-L-酪氨酸（pLT）和单壁碳纳米管（SWCNT）组成的复合物，并通过测量复合物的ζ电位和溶液的浊度来研究pLT/SWCNT复合物在水中的分散性。结果发现，pLT/SWCNT复合物的ζ电位绝对值与用双链DNA（dsDNA）修饰的SWCNT的ζ电位绝对值一样高，并且该复合物在水中至少能稳定分散两周。还进行了热重分析（TGA）以及使用原子力显微镜（AFM）对pLT/SWCNT复合物表面结构的可视化分析。
