Biohybrid Carbon Nanotube/Agarose Fibers for Neural Tissue Engineering

A novel approach for producing carbon nanotube fibers (CNF) composed with the polysaccharide agarose is reported. Current attempts to make CNFs require the use of a polymer or precipitating agent in the coagulating bath that may have negative effects in biomedical applications. It is shown that, by...
