Environmental context. Recent developments in nanotechnology have focussed towards innovation and usage of multifunctional and superior hybrid nanomaterials. Possible exposure of these novel nanohybrids can lead to unpredicted environmental fate, transport, transformation and toxicity scenarios. Environmentally relevant emerging properties and potential environmental implications of these newer materials need to be systematically studied to prevent harmful effects towards the aquatic environment and ecology.Abstract. Nanomaterial synthesis and modification for applications have progressed to a great extent in the last decades. Manipulation of the physicochemical properties of a material at the nanoscale has been extensively performed to produce materials for novel applications. Controlling the size, shape, surface functionality, etc. has been key to successful implementation of nanomaterials in multidimensional usage for electronics, optics, biomedicine, drug delivery and green fuel technology. Recently, a focus has been on the conjugation of two or more nanomaterials to achieve increased multifunctionality as well as creating opportunities for next generation materials with enhanced performance. With incremental production and potential usage of such nanohybrids come the concerns about their ecological and environmental effects, which will be dictated by their not-yet-understood physicochemical properties. While environmental implication studies concerning the single materials are yet to give an integrated mechanistic understanding and predictability of their environmental fate and transport, the importance of studying the novel nanohybrids with their multidimensional and complex behaviour in environmental and biological exposure systems are immense. This article critically reviews the literature of nanohybrids and identifies potential environmental uncertainties of these emerging 'horizon materials'.

“…Many methods are reported in the literature for the modification of CNTs with NPs which are associated with their own advantages and disadvantages. As a result of this, here we have focused selective and advanced methods such as electrochemical modification or electrodeposition, electroless deposition and modification through covalent attachment [35].…”

“…New multifunctional nanoparticle-nanotube hybrid systems, due to their unique and superior properties compared with their pure counterparts, increasingly forming the foundation of transformational developments in areas as diverse as electronics, photonics, catalysis, biotechnology, and energy storage among many other applications (Wu et al 2011;Mackiewicz et al 2008;Georgakilas et al 2007;Kong et al 2007;Li et al 2009). Single-walled aluminosilicate nanotubes (AlSiNTs) are excellent candidates for fabricating various functional nanohybrid materials due to their well-defined one-dimensional structure (Yucelen et al 2011;Thill et al 2012), vast range of tunable compositions (Avellan et al 2014), functionalizable surfaces (Kang et al 2011), attainability in pure form without a catalyst (Yucelen et al 2011), and ability to readily form hydrogels, transparent films, powders, and coatings (Jiravanichanun et al 2011;Kuroda et al 2012).…”

Synthesis and immobilization of silver nanoparticles on aluminosilicate nanotubes and their antibacterial properties

A novel colloidal method is presented to synthesize silver nanoparticles on aluminosilicate nanotubes. The technique involves decomposition of AgNO 3 solution to Ag nanoparticles in the presence of aluminosilicate nanotubes at room temperature without utilizing of reducing agents or any organic additives. Aluminosilicate nanotubes are shown to be capable of providing a unique chemical environment, not only for in situ conversion of Ag ? into Ag 0 , but also for stabilization and immobilization of Ag nanoparticles. The synthesis strategy described here could be implemented to obtain self-assembled nanoparticles on other single-walled metal oxide nanotubes for unique applications. Finally, we demonstrated that nanotube/nanoparticle hybrid show strong antibacterial activity toward Gram-positive Staphylococcus epidermidis and Gram-negative Escherichia coli.
