Synthesis of CNTs (CCVD, using 12C and 13C carbon sources), characterization (MET, Raman spectroscopy, BET), dispersion (biocompatible polymers), (qualitative) detection in biological samples (development of a microwaves-based method, detection of CNTs by 12C/13C isotopic labeling). Rearing of amphibians and diptera, exposure in controlled and standardized conditions, assessment of the potential acute, chronic and genetic toxicities of CNTs.
