The toxicological effects of pristine and chemically modified carbon nano-onions (CNOs) on the development of the freshwater polyp <i>Hydra vulgaris</i> were investigated in order to elucidate the ecotoxicological effects of CNOs. Chemical modifications of the CNOs were accomplished by surface functionalization with benzoic acid, pyridine and pyridinium moieties. thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Raman spectroscopy confirmed the covalent surfac ...[more]
