Abstract
| - Carbon nanotubes and monodispersed nanoparticles are two of the most important building blocks proposedto create nanodevices. Also, the tendency to produce nanomachines with biomolecules has increased in thepast few years. Because hydrogen bonding plays an important role in structuring many natural molecules, itis necessary to mimic the same “links” used by nature to form biomolecules such as DNA or proteins. In thispaper, we show hydrogen bonding between open-tip and sidewall carbon nanotubes and polystyrenenanoparticles, produced at a pH adequate to create the same bond between natural systems and interestingnanoforms.
