Carbon nanotube (CNT) has aroused much attention in biomedical field. However, the cytotoxicity and aggregation are critical factors that affect the application of carbon nanotube (CNT). Herein, gelatin was grafted on the surface of CNT via mussel-inspired method. The gelatin modified CNT can disperse homogeneously in water. The in vitro test showed that gelatin modified CNT showed much better biocompatibility than the native CNT, which may improve its potential application in biomedical field.

通过贻贝启发法用明胶对碳纳米管进行表面改性。

碳纳米管（CNT）引起了生物医学领域的广泛关注。然而，Ť他的细胞毒性和聚集是影响碳纳米管（CNT）的应用的关键因素。在此，通过贻贝启发法将明胶接枝在CNT的表面上。明胶改性的CNT可以均匀地分散在水中。体外测试表明，明胶修饰的CNT比天然CNT具有更好的生物相容性，这可能会改善其在生物医学领域的潜在应用。
