dc.description.abstract© The Author(s) 2020.Since their discovery, carbon nanotubes were used for numerous applications in the most diverse knowledge areas. However, the lack of solubility of these molecules in aqueous media compromises their beneficial properties for certain applications. Several methods to solubilize carbon nanotubes are described, however, depending on the intended application, the impact that the solubilization has on the physical and chemical properties needs to be considered. In the present study, a simple methodology is described that utilizes polyvinylpyrrolidone combined with sonication and centrifugation to solubilize multiwalled carbon nanotubes. Proteins were coupled to the surface of the solubilized products and characterized using various spectroscopic and electron microscopic techniques, evaluating the characteristics and integrity of the nanoparticle after the process. It was successfully demonstrated that nanotubes can be solubilized through a simple technique, without compromising their chemical characteristics, which makes them suitable materials for use in biomedical applications, due to their biocompatibility and lack of toxicity, among others.
