Nano-based Neoproteoglycans – Blood Compatible Carbon Nanotubes, S. Murugesan, T. Park, H. Yang, S. Mousa and R. J. Linhardt, Langmuir, 22,3461-3463, 2006.
Abstract
Although nanotechnology has provided a rich variety of nanomaterials (1–100 nm) for in vivo medical applications, the blood compatibility of all these nanobiomaterials is still largely unexamined. Here, we report the preparation of blood-compatible carbon nanotubes (CNTs) that potentially represent the building blocks for nanodevices having in vivo applications. Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and thromboelastography (TEG) studies prove that heparinization can significantly enhance the blood compatibility of nanomaterials.;
