Abstract The distinctive properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have inspired the development of many novel applications in the field of cell nanobiotechnology. However, studies thus far have not explored the effect of SWCNT functionalization on transport across the cell walls of prokaryotes. We explore the uptake of SWCNTs in Gram-negative cyanobacteria and demonstrate a passive length-dependent and selective internalization of SWCNTs decorated with positively charged biomolecules. We show that lysozyme-coated SWCNTs spontaneously penetrate the cell walls of a unicellular strain and a multicellular strain. A custom-built spinning-disc confocal microscope was used to image the distinct near-infrared SWCNT fluorescence within the autofluorescent cells, revealing a highly inhomogeneous distribution of SWCNTs. Real-time near-infrared monitoring of cell growth and division reveal that the SWCNTs are inherited by daughter cells. Moreover, these nanobionic living cells retained photosynthetic activity and showed an improved photo-exoelectrogenicity when incorporated into bioelectrochemical devices.

September 1, 2014, Boisbriand, QC: Raymor-NanoIntegris Breaks New Barrier by Becoming the First Company in the World to Commercialize Ultra-High-Purity, Polymer-Wrapped, Semiconducting Carbon Nanotubes Dispersed in Organic Solvents: IsoSol-S100 TM. This innovative product, offered in powder or solution form, is the first semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotube product on the market with a purity greater than 99.9%.

Le mot est partout, évoquant des recherches de pointe mystérieuses et des composants électroniques high-tech, de plus en plus miniaturisés. Mais la réalité va bien au-delà. Car les nanotechnologies constituent une vraie révolution.

NanoIntegris technologies poursuit l’objectif de permettre la création de produits commerciaux à base de nanotubes de carbone pouvant être produits en grande quantité et à de bas coûts. L’acquisition de NanoIntegris Technologies par l’entreprise Canadienne Raymor Inustries Inc. en avril 2012, fut un catalyeur dans l’avancement des techniques de purification et de séparation à des coûts avantageux.
