摘要: Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) have unique physical properties, of value in biomedical applications; however, their dispersion and functionalization represent a critical challenge successful employment as biomaterials. In the present study, we report process for efficient disentanglement BNNTs via dual surfactant/polydopamine (PD) process. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) indicated that individual become coated with uniform PD nanocoating, which significantly enhanced aqueous solutions. Furthermore, cytocompatibility PD-coated was assessed vitro cultured human osteoblasts (HOBs) at concentrations 1, 10, 30 μg/mL over three time-points (24, 48, 72 h). this study it demonstrated PD-functionalized individually localized within cytoplasm by endosomal escape up to PD-BNNTs were cytocompatible HOBs cells following h exposure.
