“…Another key CNT functionalization route is fluorination, defined as the breaking of the conjugated π layers on CNT surface with the formation of C-F bonds. Methods for fluorination mainly consist in the use of fluorine gas mixtures under proper temperature and positive pressure conditions [100] or plasma gas containing fluorine in vacuum [101]. The obtained materials possess a higher solubility in polar solvents (e.g., 1 mg mL −1 in alcohol) and are suitable for further derivatization processes by nucleophilic reactions [102].…”

Carbon nanostructures (CN) are emerging valuable materials for the assembly of highly engineered multifunctional nanovehicles for cancer therapy, in particular for counteracting the insurgence of multi-drug resistance (MDR). In this regard, carbon nanotubes (CNT), graphene oxide (GO), and fullerenes (F) have been proposed as promising materials due to their superior physical, chemical, and biological features. The possibility to easily modify their surface, conferring tailored properties, allows different CN derivatives to be synthesized. Although many studies have explored this topic, a comprehensive review evaluating the beneficial use of functionalized CNT vs G or F is still missing. Within this paper, the most relevant examples of CN-based nanosystems proposed for MDR reversal are reviewed, taking into consideration the functionalization routes, as well as the biological mechanisms involved and the possible toxicity concerns. The main aim is to understand which functional CN represents the most promising strategy to be further investigated for overcoming MDR in cancer.

In this paper, the recent development of fluorinated carbon nanotubes (F-CNTs) was introduced. The synthesizing methods of F-CNTs, including direct fluorination and plasma treatment, were discussed in detail, and the effects of factors, such as the temperature and pressure in fluorination as well as the kind of fluorine source and carbon nanotubes, on the structures and properties of F-CNTs were also summarized. In the mean time, the special physical and chemical properties of F-CNTs and the relevant applied fields were described briefly, the exisiting problems of F-CNTs were summed up, and the direction of future development was also discussed in the end. carbon nanotubes, fluorination, plasma treatment, fluorinated carbon nanotubes, substitution reaction Citation: Li Y, Chen Y F, Feng Y Y, et al.
