Figure 9From: Synergistic photothermal ablative effects of functionalizing carbon nanotubes with a POSS-PCU nanocomposite polymerEffects of various treatment reagents on cancer cells. Pristine CNTs display a certain degree of toxicity to cells. Upon functionalization with POSS-PCU, CNTs do not appear to be toxic to cancer cells. POSS-PCU-CNTs are able to elicit a highly significant degree of cell kill compared to non-functionalized CNTs (p = 0.0006).Back to article page
