Abstract
Disclosed is a hydrophilic carbon nanohorn aggregate comprising a carbon nanohorn aggregate having an oxygen-containing functional group introduced at a tip of a carbon nanohorn, and a cyclodextrin which is capping the tip of the carbon nanohorn and being stabilized.
Claims13
A hydrophilic carbon nanohorn aggregate comprising:
- a carbon nanohorn aggregate having an oxygen-containing functional group introduced at a tip of a carbon nanohorn, and
- a cyclodextrin that is capping the tip of the carbon nanohorn and being stabilized,
- wherein the capping of the cyclodextrin is stabilized by an interaction with the oxygen-containing functional group.
A method for producing a hydrophilic carbon nanohorn aggregate comprising:
- oxidation treatment step to oxidize a carbon nanohorn aggregate, and
- cyclodextrin treatment step to contact cyclodextrin with the oxidized carbon nanohorn aggregate.
