THE ADSORPTION OF BIOMOLECULES TO MULTI-WALLED CARBON NANOTUBES IS INFLUENCED BY BOTH PULMONARY SURFACTANT LIPIDS AND SURFACE CHEMISTRY

The adsorption of biomolecules to multi-walled carbon nanotubes is influenced by both pulmonary surfactant lipids and surface chemistry

Abstract Background During production and processing of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), they may be inhaled and may enter the pulmonary circulation.It is essential that interactions with involved body fluids like the pulmonary surfactant, the blood and others are investigated, particularly as these interactions could lead to coating of the
