Abstract

A general concern with nanomaterials used in contemporary nanotechnology applications and consumer products is their potential discharge into the nature [1,2]. At present, there is still very little knowledge about the environmental and biological effects of nanomaterials, and the factors contributing to their transport, uptake and transformation in biological organisms. As one of the most important class of nanomaterials, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) pose a specifically important topic of study. Being essentially hydrophobic needle-like molecules, CNTs are not inherently water-soluble.
