Interactions of Carbon Nanotube with Lipid Bilayer Membranes
Understanding the interaction between a carbon nanotube and biological macromolecules such as lipid bilayers is important for the design and development of nanovectors for gene and drug delivery. The forces of penetration and the free energies of rupture of lipid bilayers during nanotube penetration...
