title: Peptide-mediated formation of single-wall carbon nanotube composites.
abstract: The formation of silica- and titania-coated single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) using a mutlifunctional peptide to both suspend SWNTs and direct the precipitation of silica and titania at room temperature is demonstrated.
