Single-walled carbon nanotubes exhibit strong antimicrobial activity

Single-walled carbon nanotubes exhibit strong antimicrobial activity

We provide the first direct evidence that highly purified single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) exhibit strong antimicrobial activity. By using a pristine SWNT with a narrow diameter distribution, we demonstrate that cell membrane damage resulting from direct contact with SWNT aggregates is the lik...
