Abstract

To fully accomplish all promises and hopes on clinical applications of carbon nanotubes, it is crucial to understand their interactions with physiological environment. One of these applications is polymer fillers, and it is important to review the toxicology of carbon nanotubes themselves because some polymer matrices may be biodegradable. Therefore, the interactions with organic molecules such as water, electrolytes, and proteins are reviewed and results of multiple studies on cellular interaction, cytotoxicity, immune response, biodistribution, and biopersistence are further presented. Finally, a section describing the interaction of polymer matrices with carbon nanotube reinforcements and the physiological environment is presented.
