 abstract = {We study the complexation of nontoxic, native poly(propyl ether imine)
dendrimers with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). The interaction
was monitored by measuring the quenching of inherent fluorescence of the
dendrimer. The dendrimer-nanotube binding also resulted in the increased
electrical resistance of the hole doped SWNT, due to charge-transfer
interaction between dendrimer and nanotube. This charge-transfer
interaction was further corroborated by observing a shift in frequency
of the tangential Raman modes of SWNT. We also report the effect of
acidic and neutral pH conditions on the binding affinities. Experimental
studies were supplemented by all atom molecular dynamics simulations to
provide a microscopic picture of the dendrimer-nanotube complex. The
complexation was achieved through charge transfer and hydrophobic
interactions, aided by multitude of oxygen, nitrogen, and n-propyl
moieties of the dendrimer. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics.
