Dear
Colleague,
Research
and development of novel functional hybrid materials and nanocomposites
with extraordinary functionalities has become one of the most expanding
fields in materials chemistry during recent years. One reason for this
is that this class of research bridges various scientific disciplines.
In an interdisciplinary manner, inorganic and organic chemistry,
physical and biological sciences are united in the search for novel
methods to create unique materials. The compounds formed often possess
exciting new properties for future functional meterials and
technological applications. The forthcoming special issues of the
"International Journal of Molecular Sciences" shall meet the
requirements for an actual overview over this most interesting research
discipline.

Abstract: We report
here the modification of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) with
akind of polysaccharide, carboxymethylated chitosan (cmCs), and their
potential usage as donor-acceptor nanohybrids. The modified composites
(cmCs/MWNTs) were characterized by high-resolution TEM, FT-IR, TGA and
time-resolved spectroscopy. The time-resolved
spectroscopic experiments revealed that interfacial electron transfer
readily takes place between MWNTs and surface immobilized cmCs
chains. The forward electron transfer is fast
(< 20ns) while the backward recombination is slow. The
recombination process strongly
depends on the chain length of carboxylmethylated chitosan, i.e. a
shorter recombination
lifetime (~1.1 s) for the shorter-chain cmCs coated MWNTs against that
of the
longer-chain cmCs coated MWNTs (~3.5 s). The results demonstrated that
the cmCs/MWNTs
composite may be applied as a controllable donor-acceptor nanohybrid.
