The unpredictable carbon nanotube biocorona and a functionalization method to prevent protein biofouling

Abstract Background The intrinsic physicochemical properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) make them unique tools in nanotechnology. Their elemental composition, resilience, thermal properties, and surface reactivity make CNTs also of undisputed interest in biotechnology. In particular, their extraordi...
