Relating the physicochemical characteristics and dispersion of multiwalled carbon nanotubes in different suspension media to their oxidative reactivityin vitroand inflammationin vivo (2010)
Journal Article
Rothen-Rutishauser, B., Brown, D. M., Piallier-Boyles, M., Kinloch, I. A., Windle, A. H., Gehr, P., & Stone, V. (2010). Relating the physicochemical characteristics and dispersion of multiwalled carbon nanotubes in different suspension media to their oxid

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production is important in the toxicity of pathogenic particles such as fibres. We examined the oxidative potential of straight (50 μm and 10 μm) and tangled carbon nanotubes in a cell free assay, in vitro and in vivo us...
