Background: Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs)
- Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have become prominent in science and engineering primarily due to their adaptable surface chemistry and the following properties:
+ High electrical conductivity+ High thermal conductivity+ Mechanical strength
- In these experiments, we used oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (O-MWCNTs) and pure DMPC bilayers.

Characterization of O-MWCNTs - Characterized O-MWCNTs using TEM, UV-Vis, FT-IR, DLS, and ζ-
potential + DLS: 96.75 ± 0.96 nm diameter (in Millipore) + ζ-potential: -35.4 ± 2.3 mV (in Millipore)

Interactions of O-MWCNTs and SLBs
Yi, P.; Chen, K. L. Environmental Science & Technology 2013, 47, 5711
- Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation Monitoring (QCM-D) can be used to study nanoparticle interactions with supported
lipid bilayers
- QCM-D studies on the interactions of O-MWCNTs with DMPC bilayers from the Pedersen lab indicate that negatively charged CNTs attach to negatively charged bilayers
- Previous QCM-D studies with DOPC found MWCNT binding is increased by increasing ionic strength of the aqueous solution
+ Binding was found to be largely irreversible (80%) at low ionic strength and pH 7.3
