Abstract

Ordered volume nanocompositions are obtained by exposing a colloidal aqueous solution of albumin with carbon nanotubes to cw IR laser radiation. Nanocompositions contain spherical and toroidal globules of size 100–500 nm with electric properties inherent in conglomerates of coiled nanotubes. The hardness of the material obtained depends on the irradiation intensity and time, and its consistence can be varied from pasty to glassy.
