Coating carbon nanotubes with a polystyrene-based polymer protects against pulmonary toxicity
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>carbon nanotubes (CNT) can have adverse effects on health. Therefore, minimizing the risk associated with CNT exposure is of crucial importance. The aim of this work was to evaluate if coating multi-walled CNT (MWCNT) with polymers c...
