Carbon Nanotubes Produced After Forest Fire Oxidized and Functionalized with Fluorescein Isothiocyanate Improve Development of Avena sativa

Abstract

The use of synthetic carbon nanotubes has been widely studied in plant crops, however, knowledge about carbon nanotubes of natural origin is limited, therefore, in this work the effect of MWCNT obtained in samples after treatment was evaluated. a forest fire on the biomass and germination of Avena sativa, as well as the behavior of these MWCNT when subjected to chemical oxidation and subsequent functionalization, where positive effects were observed both in the germination speed as well as in the percentage, on the other hand there was a significant increase in fresh and dry weight, these results give help us an information for understood better the way the MWCNT improve plant development.
