Interactions of Carbon Nanotubes and Carbon Nanohorns with a Model Membrane Layer and Lung Surfactant In Vitro

<div>(a) Schematic illustration of DPPC adsorption on the external surface of hydrophobic CNTs and a restricted accessibility of phospholipids to the CNTs interior. (b) Explanation of the influence of CNT aggregation on the reduction of their area of interactions with DPPC at the air/liquid interface.</div>
