Ligands influence a carbon nanotube penetration through a lipid bilayer
The interactions between nanomaterials and biological membranes are important for the safe use of nanomaterials. We explore the nano–bio interface by studying the penetration of a carbon nanotube (CNT) coated with ligands through a lipid bilayer. With a dissipative particle dynamics model, the mecha...
