In this paper,we present a novel method to fluorescently label magnetic carbon nanotubes by combining a non-ionic surfactant Tween 20 and a fluorescein isothiocyanate(FITC) commonly used in biological experiments.The samples were characterized using transmission electron microscopy(TEM),UV-Vis absorption spectrum(UV-Vis),vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM) and fluorescence spectra(FL).
