Facile routes for the synthesis of hybrid materials consisting of regioregular poly(3-octylthiophene)s covalently attached to single-wall carbon nanotubes are presented for the first time. These materials are easily processable using common organic solvents, and at the same time combine the properties of regioregular poly(3-alkylthiophene)s with those of single-wall carbon nanotubes. Moreover, studies of the properties of these materials have provided strong evidence for an electron transfer from the regioregular poly(3-octylthiophene) to the single-wall carbon nanotube.

“…Geodesic dome in Montreal made by Richard Buckminster Fuller was an inspiration for the name of these molecules, because this dome has the same structure as a fullerene cage. The most popular fullerene is C 60 also known as the Buckyball (Figure 1), [1] .…”

Abstract:In this paper we present the investigation of influence of new nanophotonic materials for contact lenses on aqueous solutions. The contact lenses that we used were made of standard siloxane acrylate material with incorporated molecules C 60 and another with fullerol C 60 (OH) 24 . The aim of the investigation was to compare the influences of these materials on different solutions, such as aqua purificata, saline and drops for dry eyes.Optomagnetic spectroscopy was used to analyze different solutions. The obtained spectrums were commented on and compared with the standard contact lens material, which was analyzed by using the same method, in order to show the differences in influence of this standard and new nanophotonic material. This research contributes to a better understanding of biocompatibility of new contact lens materials.

“…Combining both systems has led to a wide variety of new materials with appealing features based on the possibility of tuning their properties by modifying the chemical nature of the components or the chemical linkage between them. 20 The easiest method of incorporation of C 60 into a polymer is radical copolymerization, which can produce materials of widely varied fullerene content, but the degree of substitution of the fullerene is hard to control, and the structures are heterogeneous and hard to determine. 21 The aforementioned nanomaterials were incorporated into the standard RGP SOLEKO TM material (Pontecorvo, Italy) known by the commercial name SP40 TM .…”

The aim was to develop new materials that would, after appropriate machining processes, improve the surface roughness and wettability of contact lenses. The samples used in this investigation were standard rigid gas-permeable (RGP) SOLEKO contact lenses, made of poly-MMA-co-siloxy silane methacrylate material (known under the commercial name SP40 TM ), and its modifications by adding three nanomaterials: fullerene C60 (designated as SP40-A), fullerol C60(OH)24 (designated as SP40-B) and methformin hydroxylate fullerene C60(OH)12(OC4N5H10)12 (designated as SP40-C). Both atomic force microscopy (AFM) and magnetic force microscopy (MFM) were used to measure the topography and gradient of the magnetic field of the nanophotonic materials and the reference samples. According to the magnetic properties of all the materials yielded by MFM it can be concluded that adding fullerene and its derivatives certainly reduces the spectrum of the phase shifts angle by almost 50 %, which increases the paramagnetic characteristics of the nanophotonic material. The positive result of nanophotonic materials characterization is the fact that the roughness parameter values for all of these materials, are lower than those for the basic material. A surface lacunarity analysis, based on in-house procedures for determining the lacunarity value of contact lens surfaces, confirms the influence of surface topology on the tear film volume distribution and, consequently, the contact lens' surface lubrication. The presence of carbon nanomaterials, according to the surface roughness parameters, are improved for rigid gas-permeable (RGP) contact lenses made from nanophotonic polymer materials compared to those produced from the basic material. Keywords: fullerenes, polymer materials, surface roughness, atomic force microscopy, magnetic force microscopy Namen je bil razviti nov material, ki bi po ustrezni strojni obdelavi zmanj{al hrapavost povr{ine in omo~ljivost kontaktnih le~. Vzorci, uporabljeni v tej raziskavi so bile standardne toge, za plin prepustne (RGP) SOLEKO kontaktne le~e, narejene iz poli-MMA-ko-siloksi silan metakrilatnega materiala (s komercialnim imenom poznanega SP40 TM ) in njihove modifikacije z dodatkom treh nanomaterialov: fulerena C60 (ozna~enega kot SP40-A), fulerola C60(OH)24 (ozna~enega z SP40-B) in metformin hidroksilat fulerena C60(OH)12(OC4N5H10)12 (ozna~enega z SP40-C). Uporabljeni so bili: mikroskopija na atomsko silo (AFM), mikroskopija na magnetno silo (MFM) za merjenje topografije in gradient magnetnega polja nanofotonskih materialov in referen~nih vzorcev. Skladno z magnetnimi lastnostmi vseh materialov, dobljenih z MFM, je mogo~e zaklju~iti, da dodajanje fulerenov in njegovih izpeljank, mo~no zmanj{a spekter kotov faznega premika za skoraj 50 %, kar pove~a paramagnetne zna~ilnosti nanofotonskih materialov. Pozitivni rezultati karakterizacije nanofotonskih materialov so, da so vrednosti parametra hrapavosti pri vseh teh materialih ni`je kot pri osnovnem materialu.
