Toxicity of dextran stabilized fullerene C against C6 Glial cells.

Elevated application potential of fullerene C paved the way to think on its adverse effect when it reaches to biological system and environment. Though fullerenes are insoluble in water, various strategies are employed to make it soluble. Method of solubilization with organic solvents, yield cytotoxic responses both in vitro and in vivo.

Conformity of dextran-coated fullerene C70 with L929 fibroblast cells.

Fullerene C70 with symmetric nanostructure and unique properties that open up leeway for both material science and healthcare applications. Poor water dispersity and limited knowledge about its associated toxicity hinders the biomedical scope of C70. These restraining factors need to be addressed.

Green synthesis of Pluronic stabilized reduced graphene oxide: Chemical and biological characterization.

The wonder material graphene has numerous potential applications in nanoelectronics, biomedicine, storage devices, etc. Synthesis of graphene is highly challenging due to the toxic chemicals used and its low yield. In the present study, a facile green route for synthesis of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was carried out using ascorbic acid as reducing agent.
