Evaluating the toxicity of nitrogen-functionalized carbon nanotubes

Over twenty years ago, widespread attention was drawn to the new age of nanomaterials when carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were first described in the scientific literature. In a 1991 letter to the Nature Publishing Group, the synthesis and structure of these “needle-like tubes” was described (Iijima 1991)....

Description
Summary:Over twenty years ago, widespread attention was drawn to the new age of nanomaterials when carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were first described in the scientific literature. In a 1991 letter to the Nature Publishing Group, the synthesis and structure of these “needle-like tubes” was described (Iijima 1991). Today, over two decades later, the scientific community has dramatically expanded its understanding of these intriguing molecules.
