Environmental Photochemical Fate of Manufactured Carbon Nanomaterials
EMSL Project ID
18393
Abstract
The overall objective of the proposed research is to investigate photochemical transformation of buckminsterfullerene (C60) and single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) under conditions of environmental relevance. Due to the strong light absorbance of these materials within the solar spectrum, photochemical transformation in the environment may lead to potentially more water soluble and easily bioaccumulative products.
