“…Among the nanomaterials from carbonaceous sources, carbon nanotubes and graphene nanosheets are probably accounted as two of the most extended technological nanomaterials due to their special physico-chemical properties [4][5][6]. The wide spread of the above-mentioned particles has recently raised many questions about the potential risks associated with their inhalation, which presents a special importance because particles' inhalation has been frequently associated with the emergence of respiratory and cardiac diseases [7,8].…”

Carbon nanomaterials are widespread in the atmospheric aerosol as a result of the combustion processes and their extensive industrial use. This has raised many question about the potential toxicity associated with the inhalation of such nanoparticles, and its incorporation into the lung surfactant layer. In order to shed light on the main physical bases underlying the incorporation of carbon nanomaterials into lung surfactant layers, this work has studied the interaction at the water/vapor interface of carbon nanosheets (CN) with Langmuir monolayers of 1,2-Dipalmitoyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphocholine (DPPC), with this lipid being the main component of lung surfactant layers and responsible of some of the most relevant features of such film. The incorporation of CN into DPPC Langmuir monolayers modifies the lateral organization of the DPPC at the interface, which is explained on the basis of two different effects: (i) particles occupy part of the interfacial area, and (ii) impoverishment of the lipid composition of the interface due to lipid adsorption onto the CN surface. This results in a worsening of the mechanical performance of the monolayers which may present a negative impact in the physiological performance of lung surfactant. It would be expected that the results obtained here can be useful as a step toward the understanding of the most fundamental physico-chemical bases associated with the effect of inhaled particles in the respiratory cycle.

“…Two main types of CNTs are: single walled CNTs (SWCNTs) and multi walled CNTs (MWCNTs), with the former composed of a sole layer of graphene and diameters in the range of 0.7–1.4 nm, whereas their length can vary from a few hundred nm up to several μm. MWCNTs comprise multiple concentric cylinders of rolled-up graphene sheets forming tubes with diameters up to 100 nm [ [23] , [24] , [25] ]. CNTs are interesting options for electrochemical sensing applications.…”

Human-pathogenic viruses are still a chief reason for illness and death on the globe, as epitomized by the COVID-19 pandemic instigated by a coronavirus in 2020. Multiple novel sensors have been invented because diseases must be detected and diagnosed as early as possible, and recognition methods have to be carried out with minimal invasivity. Sensors have been particularly developed focusing on miniaturization by the use of nanomaterials for fabricating nanosensors. The nano-sized nature of nanomaterials and their exclusive optical, electronical, magnetical, and mechanical attributes can enhance patient care through the use of sensors with minimal invasivity and extreme sensitivity. Amongst the nanomaterials utilized for fabricating nano-sensors, carbon-based nanomaterials are promising as these sensors respond better to signals in various sensing settings. This review provides an overview of the recent developments in carbon nanomaterial-based biosensors for viral recognition based on the biomarkers that arise from the infection, the nucleic acids from the viruses, and the entire virus. The role of carbon nanomaterials is highlighted by the improvement of sensor and recognition functionality. The Dengue virus, Ebola virus, Hepatits virus, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), influenza virus, Zika virus and Adenovirus are the virus types reviewed to illustrate the implementation of the techniques. Finally, the drawbacks and advantages of carbon nanomaterial-based biosensors for viral recognition are identified and discussed.

Recently, carbon nanohybrids based on carbon nanomaterials including fullerene, carbon nanotube (CNT), carbon nanofiber (CNF), and graphene have attracted considerable attention in the field of science and technology due to their unique electrical, mechanical, chemical, spectroscopic properties, and high porosities. These nanohybrids not only increase electrical conductivity, but also enhance surface areas, thereby overcoming the limitations of individual carbon nanomaterial for material science and electronic engineering. Herein, the electronic and materials properties of carbon nanohybrids consisting of CNT/graphene, CNT/fullerene, CNT/CNF, and graphene/fullerene for advanced electronic applications are discussed.
