Carbon nanotubes (CNT) and their derivatives with different structure and compositions have unique features. In the present study, cell proliferation was performed on various nanotubes such as single walled CNTs, multiwalled CNTs and imogolite which is nanotubes of aluminosilicate. SEM observation of the growth of osteoblast-like cells cultured on CNTs showed the morphology fully developed for the whole direction, which was different from that extended to the one direction on the usual scaffold. Numerous filopodia were grown from cell edge, extended far long and combined with CNT meshwork. Apatite precipitation in simulated body fluid, affinity for proteins and saccharides, and nanosize meshwork structure with large porosity would be the properties responsible for these cell adhesion and growth. Imogolite showed the similar properties to CNTs. Nanotubes could be the favorable materials for biomedical applications. |
