The UV–visible spectrophotometric method has been described the study of raw carbon nanotubes (R-MWCNTs) and functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes (F-MWCNTs) for the control of bacterial growth by using validated analytical techniques. The absorption spectra of functionalized carbon nanotubes (F-MWCNTs) and raw carbon nanotubes (R-MWCNTs) show maximum absorbance at λ max 600?nm. The linear relationship was found between absorbance and concentration of R-MWCNTs and F-MWCNTs in the range of 0.25-.0?μg?mL?. The linear regression equation was evaluated by statistical treatment of calibration data and gives the value of correlation coefficient for F-MWCNTs (0.9999) and R-MWCNTs (0.9993), which indicate excellent linearity. The Optical and regression characteristics of the proposed method were found apparent molar absorptivity, limits of detection (LOD), and limit of quantitation (LOQ) for R-MWCNTs and F-MWCNTs (5.75?×?102: 8.25?×?102?L?mol??cm?), (0.052: 0.018?μg?mL?), and (0.055: 0.158?μg?mL?), respectively. The validity of the proposed method was checked by precision, accuracy, linearity, limits of detection (LOD), and limit of quantitation (LOQ). The RSD (%) and quantitative recoveries (%) were obtained (0.026-.0086) and (100.34 and 100.71) for R-MWCNTs: for F-MWCNTs by UV–visible spectrophotometric, respectively.
